Transiting ICN into US

[Jenya]

Hi all,
I purchased this tickets on Delta website flying on Korean Air metal onto Seattle, just wandering if its possible to check for subsequent flight in BKK or I am expected to clear immigration in ICN and check in there for US flight?
Hope 1hr40 min is enough for that....

You are flying KE metal to ICN, then DL metal to SEA

Yes should be able to obtain boarding pass to SEA.
Don't need to leave the airport or clear immigration. Those flights also arrive and depart T2 - you will need to go through a securit checkpoint at the Transfer entrance.

If they don't give you a boarding pass see the T2 transfer desk.

1:40 minutes is enough but what if you flight from BKK is delayed? If you miss your flight you should be protected. DL will organise flights.

Thank you, hope KE wouldn't end up in significant delay.
Searched flight history for KE660 its never late at least for past week

While it might be possible to organise a replacement connection through Delta, the easier option is to go to the Korean Air transfer desk. KAL will handle the rebooking, not Delta, since the itinerary is commenced and under "airport control." This is also necessary to make sure your bags go where you want (i.e. if you need to claim them in case of an overnight wait and accommodation outside the airport).

thank you, noted!

This thread is about ICN, that is, Seoul Korea, not Japan.

That said, for Visit Japan you just need to follow the instructions on their site to fill out the various documents. Why don't you give it a try and come back here with more specific questions if you have trouble? The instructions were incredibly clear to me last time I did it.
