Overall an easier time if the loads are decent. NRT has way more standbys going through every day, most of whom can switch their itinerary around right on their phone/laptop on NRT wifi if their plan is not looking good.
I suppose KAL could throw a few HKs on a DL flight at ICN like anywhere else but at least you wouldn't have the glut of non-revs to go with it.
