Seoul to Toronto
13h 37m The flight from Incheon International Airport (ICN) to Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) covers 10,617 km (6,597 miles) and takes approximately 13h 37m gate to gate for a typical jet.
The route heads north on an initial great-circle bearing of 19°, passing near 75.0° N, 167.9° W at its midpoint.
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 | 19h 18m | 19h 43m |
| Narrowbody jet (A320, 737) | 780 km/h | 13h 37m | 14h 02m |
| Widebody jet (777, 787, A350) | 900 km/h | 11h 48m | 12h 13m |
| Private jet (Gulfstream) | 850 km/h | 12h 29m | 12h 55m |
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 Seoul to Toronto?
A non-stop flight from Seoul (ICN) to Toronto (YYZ) takes about 13h 37m. The great-circle distance is 10,617 km (6,597 miles, 5,733 nautical miles), flying north on an initial bearing of 19°.
How far is Seoul from Toronto?
10,617 kilometres in a straight line over the earth's surface — 6,597 miles or 5,733 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 ICN and YYZ?
This page calculates the direct-line time and distance; it does not track airline schedules. At 10,617 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 37m 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.
