All direct flights to North Korea from the UK & Ireland

Flight summary

North Korea is off-limits to most Western tourists, although heavily regulated tours can be arranged through the Communist government's tourism ministry, Ryohaengsa.

Not surprisingly, there are no flights to North Korea from the UK, but there are regular flights to the capital Pyongyang from Beijing in China. Visa applications need to be made well in advance of travelling to North Korea.

There is no point in trying to search for North Korea flights, or flights to Pyongyang using travel search engines - for example, Ebookers (American owned, so firmly views North Korea as part of the Axis of Evil), says it cannot find a match, whereas Opodo tries to point you to Chongqing in China.
