The flight from Seoul Ab (SSN) to Washington Dulles International (IAD) takes Approximately 13-14 hours.

The flight crosses the North Pacific, passing north of the Aleutian Islands and over the Bering Sea. Over North America, the route typically crosses the Canadian Rockies (visible from altitude as a north-south mountain chain), then the Great Plains, and finally the Appalachian Mountains before descent into Virginia. The Arctic and subarctic regions offer minimal scenic landmarks due to sparse vegetation and cloud cover at cruise altitude.
