13h 01m The flight from Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport (OPO) to Incheon International Airport (ICN) covers 10,147 km (6,305 miles) and takes approximately 13h 01m gate to gate for a typical jet.

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 | 18h 27m | 18h 52m |
| Narrowbody jet (A320, 737) | 780 km/h | 13h 01m | 13h 26m |
| Widebody jet (777, 787, A350) | 900 km/h | 11h 16m | 11h 42m |
| Private jet (Gulfstream) | 850 km/h | 11h 56m | 12h 21m |
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 Porto to Seoul?
A non-stop flight from Porto (OPO) to Seoul (ICN) takes about 13h 01m. The great-circle distance is 10,147 km (6,305 miles, 5,479 nautical miles), flying north-east on an initial bearing of 34°.
How far is Porto from Seoul?
10,147 kilometres in a straight line over the earth's surface — 6,305 miles or 5,479 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 OPO and ICN?
This page calculates the direct-line time and distance; it does not track airline schedules. At 10,147 km the route is within reach of long-range widebodies, though not every city pair is served non-stop. Check an airline or booking site for what is actually scheduled.
What should I expect on a 13h 01m 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.
