Illustrative route diagram, not a map to scale or an airline track. Distance is the great-circle path between stored airport coordinates.
Nonstop status not independently verified
The displayed value is a direct-air planning baseline. If your itinerary requires a connection, total journey time will be longer because layovers are not included in the model.
What can make the real flight longer?
Air traffic routing, winds, runway direction, taxi time, holding and airline scheduling can move block time away from the model. Connecting itineraries can be much longer because the baseline does not include layovers.
A reproducible planning model
The model uses a mean Earth radius of 6,371.0088 km, an 805 km/h cruise assumption and 30 minutes for take-off, climb, descent and landing.
