Atlanta (ATL) to Seoul (ICN) shipping route.

Atlanta to Seoul by air: flight distance 12,062 km, heading north west from the United States to South Korea. The shortest line over the globe is 11,487 km, and real airways add the rest.

Flight time is about 15 h 48 min at 800 km/h block speed. On a route this long many freighters make a technical stop for fuel, so the shipment may land somewhere in between. Door to door air freight transit time is usually 1 to 3 days longer than the flight because of acceptance, security screening, customs and handling at both airports.

In the week we checked there were 2 flights between ATL and ICN, 0 of them on freighters, operated by Korean Air.

Air freight rates are charged per kilogram of chargeable weight: the higher of the actual weight and the volume weight (length x width x height in cm divided by 6,000). Light, bulky cargo pays for space, so compact packing on Atlanta to Seoul saves money. The shipment crosses from the United States into South Korea, so export and import customs clearance are part of the lead time.
