Airports at each end
Leaving Lahore
Lahore is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Allama Iqbal International Airport (LHE), 6 km (4 mi) from the centre, whose 11,024-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Sri Guru Ram Das Ji International Airport (ATQ, 46 km).
Arriving in Wŏnju
Wŏnju is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Cheongju International Airport/Cheongju Air Base (K-59/G-513) (CJJ), 81 km (50 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,000 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Wonju Airport / Hoengseong Air Base (K-38/K-46) (WJU, 10 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |

| Wonju Airport / Hoengseong Air Base (K-38/K-46) (regional) | WJU | 10 km (6 mi) | 9,000 ft | 329 ft |
