Airports at each end
Leaving Seoul
Seoul is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Seoul Gimpo International Airport (GMP), 17 km (11 mi) from the centre, whose 11,811-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Incheon International Airport (ICN, 48 km), Wonju Airport / Hoengseong Air Base (K-38/K-46) (WJU, 88 km).
Arriving in Bath
Bath is served by 4 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Bristol Airport (BRS), 25 km (16 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,598 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Cardiff International Airport (CWL, 68 km), Bournemouth Airport (BOH, 76 km), Southampton Airport (SOU, 85 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bristol Airport | BRS | 25 km (16 mi) | 6,598 ft | 622 ft |
| Cardiff International Airport | CWL | 68 km (42 mi) | 7,723 ft | 220 ft |

| Southampton Airport (regional) | SOU | 85 km (53 mi) | 6,191 ft | 44 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 8,967 km (5,572 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
