The route
The great-circle path — the shortest line between the two airports across the curve of the earth. On a flat map it looks bent; on a globe it is straight.
Flight time at different cruise speeds
Aircraft type, winds and routing all move the real number. This is the same distance flown at different speeds, plus the 25-minute ground and climb allowance.
| Typical of | Cruise speed | Airborne | Gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Turboprop / regional | 550 km/h | 15h 49m | 16h 14m |
| Narrowbody jet (A320, 737) | 780 km/h | 11h 09m | 11h 34m |
| Widebody jet (777, 787, A350) | 900 km/h | 9h 40m | 10h 05m |
| Private jet (Gulfstream) | 850 km/h | 10h 14m | 10h 39m |
Headwinds on an eastbound long-haul routinely add 30–60 minutes; the same route westbound can be quicker. Airlines publish schedules with padding built in.

Questions
How long is the flight from Luxembourg to Seoul?
A non-stop flight from Luxembourg (LUX) to Seoul (ICN) takes about 11h 13m. The great-circle distance is 8,695 km (5,403 miles, 4,695 nautical miles), flying north-east on an initial bearing of 44°.
How far is Luxembourg from Seoul?
8,695 kilometres in a straight line over the earth's surface — 5,403 miles or 4,695 nautical miles. Actual flown distance is usually 2–5% longer because aircraft follow airways, avoid weather and route around restricted airspace.
Is there a non-stop flight between LUX and ICN?
This page calculates the direct-line time and distance; it does not track airline schedules. At 8,695 km the route is comfortably within range of a non-stop service if an airline chooses to fly it. Check an airline or booking site for what is actually scheduled.
What should I expect on a 11h 13m flight?
Anything past six hours is a long-haul flight: expect at least one meal service, a significant time-zone shift, and enough sitting that circulation and hydration start to matter. Cabin altitude, dry air and disrupted sleep do more damage to a training routine than the flight itself.
