        "answer": "A direct flight from Seoul (ICN) to Yangon (RGN) takes about 6 hours 30 minutes to 7 hours. Most flights have one stop, commonly in Bangkok, Singapore, or Hanoi, leading to total travel times of 10 to 14 hours. Return flights from Yangon to Seoul are often slightly longer due to headwinds, typically adding 30 to 60 minutes. Korean Air and Myanmar Airways International sometimes offer faster connections."

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. Carrier service and weekly frequencies are summarized from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). Where available, on-time and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, and typical fares from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold.",
