KE907 distance and great-circle path
KE907 covers 8,861 km, or 5,506 miles. That makes it a long-haul flight, a widebody route with a full night's flying time. Of the 439 routes we track, it ranks 116 by distance.
The plane leaves Seoul heading north-west. On the map above, the line looks curved. That is normal. The shortest path over a round planet never looks straight on a flat screen. Our guide explains how the ICN-LHR route appears on a tracker map.
Why KE907 block time differs from cruise time
The schedule allows 14.7 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 604 km/h. A Boeing 777-300ER cruises faster than that. The gap is taxi time, climbing, descending and holding.
Winds aloft shift the real flight time by up to an hour in either direction. See how timing changes the trip in our red-eye flight guide.
Can the Boeing 777-300ER comfortably fly KE907?
Not really. It uses about 65% of the Boeing 777-300ER's range. That leaves room for a full load of passengers and bags. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Boeing 777-300ER.
