Flight Deals from Minneapolis to Seoul from $660

Flights from Minneapolis to Seoul cover about 6,230 miles. The typical nonstop flight time is 13 hours and 50 minutes outbound, while the return leg is 12 hours and 27 minutes—about an hour and 23 minutes shorter, thanks to prevailing winds. Delta operates the nonstop service on this route.

Methodology

Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.

Delta Air Lines operates the only nonstop service between Minneapolis–St. Paul and Seoul, flying to Incheon with seven flights a week — a single daily departure at 13:15. The route runs every day of the week, not just select days.

Methodology

Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

From Incheon International Airport (ICN), which serves the Minneapolis to Seoul route, the main options into the city center are the AREX Express Train, the AREX All-Stop Train, airport limousine buses, and taxis. The AREX Express is the fastest, reaching Seoul Station in about 43 minutes for ₩13,000, while the All-Stop Train is the cheapest at roughly ₩4,150–4,750 and takes 59–66 minutes. Airport limousine buses (₩16,000–18,000) offer direct hotel drop-offs and are convenient with luggage, and taxis cost about ₩47,000–66,400 including tolls for a 60–100 minute ride. The train is the most used option overall, with the Express preferred for speed and the All-Stop for budget travelers. Ride share services and car rentals are not well established for this transfer, and the AREX is the backbone of transit between the airport and central Seoul.

There are no nonstop red-eye flights from Minneapolis to Seoul, but a connecting overnight itinerary does operate: United's red-eye leg from San Francisco to Incheon departs at 11:45 PM and arrives at 4:20 AM, landing in the early hours the next day after a roughly 4-hour layover in San Francisco on the connecting United flight.

Methodology

Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times and block times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes. A flight counts as a red-eye when it departs in the afternoon or evening (3 p.m. or later local time) or in the early hours before 4 a.m., and is in the air at some point between midnight and 4 a.m. local time at both its departure airport and its arrival airport. An evening flight that lands before midnight at its destination is never counted, nor is a morning departure or a daytime long-haul that reaches the next calendar date only because of time zones. Each red-eye is labelled with its timing (for example, overnight and landing the next morning, or late-night and landing after midnight). For connecting itineraries the same rule is applied to the longer leg, from one representative day's flight search.

Delta Air Lines operates the nonstop route from Minneapolis to Seoul, flying the Airbus A350-900 on daily service. No other carriers are currently scheduled nonstop on this route.

Methodology

Aircraft types come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.

Delta Air Lines is the airline currently scheduled non-stop from Minneapolis to Seoul, flying daily. Delta belongs to the SkyTeam alliance, so SkyTeam is the only alliance serving this route non-stop.
