Man photographs every seat he sat in on 5,000 mile trip from Europe to Asia

Have you ever thought about how many seats you sit in when travelling around the world? (Picture: Getty)

It takes roughly 15 hours to fly from the UK to Tokyo, 13 hours to Seoul and Hong Kong. And passengers spend most of that time sitting down.

One intrepid traveller has documented everywhere they sat on a journey from Europe to East Asia, after gracing 13 different surfaces along the way: on trains, planes and toilet seats.

In a post captioned ‘Every seat I sat in on my journey from Europe to East Asia’, Reddit user Zestyclose-Split2275 said they began the trip on a bus, then sat on a train and later the metro before arriving at an airport in Denmark.

Sipping a beer while they waited to board their flight, the Reddit user shared a photo of their seat with a view of planes taxiing next to a runway in the background.

Following another sit down in the airport and a photo of their plane seat, Zestyclose-Split2275 stopped for a second beer during what was presumably a layover before their next flight.

After three more seats, including one on the second plane, all that beer clearly had an effect on the traveller, who shared a picture of the most dreaded part of air travel: a plane toilet.

The journey ended after a wait on a wall in arrivals, and a much comfier-looking sit down on a coach — 13 seats later.

From Denmark to South Korea: the journey in full

In the comments, Zestyclose-Split2275 revealed their route, which ended in Gongju-si, South Korea.

  • Bus: Nybrogårdkollegiet – Lyngby Station
  • S-train: Lyngby Station – Nørreport Station
  • Metro: Nørreport Station – Copenhagen Airport
  • Finnair: Copenhagen Airport – Helsinki Airport
  • Finnair: Helsinki Airport – Incheon Airport
  • Bus: Incheon Airport – Gongju-si

The distance between Denmark and South Korea is more than 5,000 miles.

How long does it take to travel to South Korea?

The fastest routes between Copenhagen Kastrup Airport and Seoul Incheon International Airport take a little over 15 hours, flying with Finnair.

From the UK, it’s possible to travel to Seoul from London Heathrow in 12 and a half hours.

Korean Air, Asiana Airlines and Virgin Atlantic all operate direct routes to the South Korean city, with prices for a return trip starting at £844.

Other Reddit users were fascinated by the journey and praised the unique idea.

And commenters around the world were thrilled to recognise some of the seats from the journey.

Duck_Von_Donald wrote: ‘I barely even read the title before I recognised the seats in Danish public transport haha. I sit there every day.’

jeremb15 added: ‘I can recognise a Copenhagen metro and bus seat when I see one’.

At the other end of the journey, woeful_haichi commented: ‘Those definitely look like the curtains in Korea’s airport buses,’ while another user said, ‘Express Limousine bus seat at end. South Korea Final Destination confirmed.’

Attya3141 simply added: ‘Those armrests are too Korean’.

And it looks like Zestyclose-Split2275 has started a new trend.

Just a few days later, Reddit user Green_Soup_2912 shared a post documenting the seven beds they slept in while hiking in Nepal.

They wrote: ‘I was inspired to share the photos of some of the rooms I laid to rest in the Himalayas after seeing a post for all the seats someone sat in’.
