What ICN to DPS looks like
The ICN to DPS sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Seoul ICN to Bali DPS is a long haul sector of 5,272 km by great circle, flown nonstop 3.4 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 5,272 km, 880 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 6h 51m.
Seoul ICN is a major hub in the network held here, 165 scheduled destinations and 641.2 departures a day. Bali DPS has 61 destinations and 211.1 departures a day.
Seoul carries about 3 times the departures of Bali, so a courier who has to be rebooked has far more to work with at one end of this pair than at the other.
Bali is one hour behind of Seoul all year.
The pair sits inside Asia Pacific, a corridor where the site already publishes 16 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on ICN to DPS from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| ICN to DPS | 3.43 | 24 | Jeju Air, Korean Air |
| DPS to ICN | 3.43 | 24 | Jeju Air, Korean Air |
Two carriers hold the sector, Jeju Air and Korean Air, which gives a missed departure somewhere to go without leaving the nonstop.
At 3.4 times a day there is usually another departure within a few hours, which is what makes a same day booking on this pair realistic.
Between them the two directions put about 48 departures a week on ICN to DPS, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 6h 51m block time on ICN to DPS. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to ICN | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At ICN before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| ICN to DPS in the air, estimated | 411 min | 11h 21m |
| Formalities at DPS | 90 min | 12h 51m |
| Delivery run in Bali | 45 min | 13h 36m |
| Door to door | 816 min | 13h 36m |
On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for ICN to DPS is 13h 36m.
A courier who leaves Seoul at 09:00 local is on the ground in Bali at about 14:51 local and at the door by 17:06 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Bali, the last useful departure from Seoul is around 09:54 local.
At 13h 36m the mission uses most of a sixteen hour duty day, which leaves no room for a delay before a rest at the far end becomes the honest answer.
When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 25 of them join ICN to DPS.
| Connecting at | ICN to hub, flights a day | Hub to DPS, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Xiamen XMN | 2.43 | 1.14 | 5,356 | 8h 35m |
| Busan PUS | 5.86 | 0.71 | 5,432 | 8h 38m |
| Taipei TPE | 14.14 | 2.29 | 5,282 | 8h 43m |
| Manila MNL | 11.57 | 2.71 | 5,274 | 8h 44m |
| Shanghai PVG | 22.43 | 3.14 | 5,314 | 8h 58m |
| Hong Kong HKG | 23.86 | 3 | 5,526 | 9h 04m |
With 3.4 times a day on the nonstop, a connection here is a disruption plan rather than a routing, and it is listed because a closed runway or a cancellation wave is exactly when nobody has time to work it out.
25 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Xiamen XMN, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through XMN the routing covers 5,356 km against the 5,272 km nonstop track and takes about 8h 35m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 44m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Busan PUS at 8h 38m and Taipei TPE at 8h 43m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for ICN to DPS in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
