Korean Air SKYPASS

SkyTeam's fixed-award-chart holdout — while Delta and United went dynamic, SKYPASS kept published charts, and the community pegs a mile at 1.2–1.5¢. Absorbed Asiana in the merger; ICN nonstops from Delhi make Korea and the Americas in business the play. No Indian card reaches it — Accor 2:1 and IHG 5:1 are the only ways in, both steep. ₹1/mile anchor.

Nerf risk: stable No tracker events on record for this program

Expiry: hard 10 years from accrual — the longest fuse of any airline mile on this index

Floor = the worst redemption you can always fall back on; ceiling = the best sweet-spot exit. The house value is what a disciplined traveller actually clears.
