| How Far Is South Korea From San Francisco |
Miles, Mayhem, and Maybe Mandu (Potstickers)
As the crow flies (or a particularly ambitious seagull), South Korea, specifically Seoul, is a whopping 5,610 miles (or 9,028 kilometers) away from San Francisco. That's a big number, folks. Think about it this way: you could fit four entire states of Texas between those two vibrant cities!
Translation: Unless you've got a teleportation device or some seriously strong swimming shoes, this is a trip best done by plane.
Tip: Take your time with each sentence.
Fear Not, Fearless Traveler! There's Hope (and Probably Ramen) on the Horizon!
While the distance might seem daunting, don't despair! Modern marvels like airplanes can whisk you from bibimbap to burritos in a mere 16 hours (give or take depending on flight connections). Think of all the in-flight movies you can catch up on, or all the airplane peanuts you can strategically "borrow" from your neighbor's tray (we won't judge).

Tip: Revisit challenging parts.
What Should I Eat on the Plane? Airplane food is...well, airplane food. But fear not! Most airlines offer a variety of options, so you can choose something that won't leave you longing for the delicious cuisine that awaits you in your final destination.
