Back in March when N. Korea was posturing about its airspace, I was on UA from SFO-ICN. Watching the airmap onboard, it appeared that we essentially flew from SFO-NRT and then made a right turn towards ICN.

I tried mapping the flight on the great circle mapper online and that isn't the route.

Is this always the case or is it just during times of greater tension?
