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.

Arriving in Thunder Bay

| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Thunder Bay International Airport (regional) | YQT | 6 km (4 mi) | 7,318 ft | 653 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 9,809 km (6,095 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
