Via Seoul Best
Watchful · 69
Near a warning area · Moderate reroute options · Minimal extra time

Via Seoul adds a brief ICN connection but routes through the same Central Asian corridor. Good choice if direct NRT–FRA capacity is limited or if you benefit from ICN's transit infrastructure.

The catch

Goes close to a warning area but does not cross it

Direct via Central Asia
Watchful · 69
Near a warning area · Moderate reroute options · Minimal extra time

Most direct and fastest option for NRT→FRA. Lufthansa and ANA both operate this route via the Central Asian corridor. Single-stop simplicity with no Gulf involvement.

Via Dubai
Limited · 55
Through a warning area · Moderate reroute options · Moderate extra time

The top option avoids the warning area this route crosses.

Emirates via Dubai is a premium option with strong hub infrastructure, but NRT→DXB routes south and DXB→FRA crosses the active Middle East advisory zone.

The catch

Part of this route goes through a flight warning area

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.
