An Air France Triple 7 is flying from Seoul to Vancouver at the moment, with a 4-digit number which, is rarely used on long-haul flights. https://www.flightradar24.com/AFR6700/2af50614
I don't know if it's linked to the fact that the airline no longer wants to fly over Russia and therefore goes through Canada.
I make this remark because in the 70s-80s Korean Air flights to and from Paris stopped in Anchorage, I suppose to avoid flying over the USSR. This did not prevent 2 of their planes from being shot down by Soviet missiles.
Or it's just an AF cargo flight
There are currently 2 AF flights over Russia : https://www.flightradar24.com/AFR275/2af47ee1 & https://www.flightradar24.com/AFR291/2af4b583

Yes, this is also Information in Finnish mediarwandan-flyer wrote: ↑27 Feb 2022, 10:22 At this moment: reciprocity embargos for:

Reuters states that Finland "is preparing to close its airspace". Thus not closed yet.
Other Baltic countries closed airspace at midnight, I expect Finland to do the same.
It would make Kaliningrad difficult to reach

This AF3700 is operated by F-GZNQ which is passenger configured., OK it could be used as preighter but according to FR24 an AF117 was planned to leave ICN at 15:15 and has status unknown but "another" AF 777 left at the same time for YVR so I guess this is the re-routing.
Back to the old days.

More difficult, but not impossible.
Normal flying time UT-389 (Moscow-Kalniningrad) is 1h40min. We'll soon know how much is added:

Re: Ukraine crisis 2022 affecting civilian aviation
According to The Guardian, the EU will close the airspace in the next sanction package.
I have the impression many private jets are going west from Moscow, or am I seeing too much into it?
Edit, even Belgium closes airspace

Re: Ukraine crisis 2022 affecting civilian aviation
While FIRs in the West request to remain 200nm clear of UA airspace, it seems the Russians impose to stay 500nm off the easternmost border of Ukraine.

Right, when a BRU-Tokyo via Anchorage in the summer was a day flight all along. And you were being served lunch non-stop as it was about noon during the whole flight.

The closure of Belgian airspace to Russian airlines heavily affects Liège airport, which regularly welcomes flights of AirBridgeCargo and Atran, subsidiaries of the Volga-Dnepr Group.

Then take sanctions that won't hurt yourself that much. Example: a ban for all international sport events and tournaments, like the UEFA championships. Putin will loose voters' support with such ban.
