DC. There's a direct flight that's a little over 14 hours. Not bad for getting to a post in Asia. - Nov 2021


West Coast, about 15-18 hours depending on connections. Easy travel to pretty much everywhere in the United States, but you are guaranteed at least one long flight. - Feb 2020


You can get a direct flight from Seoul to Atlanta but the USG probably wont pay for it. Most flights route you to SFO and then another connection or your final stop. Plan for at least 2 connecting flights and a 15-18 hour trip. Price can be reasonable if you plan ahead. - Feb 2016
