Via Hong Kong Best
Watchful · 69
Near a warning area · Moderate reroute options · Significant extra time

Two-stop option via Hong Kong. Adds journey time but gives you two world-class hubs and the highest total rebooking depth. Use when direct frequency is constrained.

The catch

This route is significantly longer than a more direct path

Via Istanbul
Watchful · 66
Near a warning area · Moderate reroute options · Moderate extra time

Reliable alternative when direct is unavailable. FRA–IST is clean; IST–ICN routes via Central Asia (lower-level warning). Turkish Airlines provides daily connectivity.

The catch

Goes close to a warning area but does not cross it

Lufthansa Direct
Watchful · 63
Near a warning area · Weak reroute options · Minimal extra time

Fastest option when available. Lufthansa routes FRA–ICN via Central Asian corridor post-2022. No Gulf exposure. Verify current schedule — frequency has been reduced since the Russia rerouting.

The catch

Very few backup paths if this route is disrupted

How we score routes

We score each route based on whether it flies near or through warning areas, how much longer it is, and how many reroute options exist — based on official flight warnings.

Some routes aren't covered yet — if yours is missing, that's a gap, not an assessment.

Scores compare route options; they are not safety ratings. Always check with your airline before booking.
