How to use the flight distance calculator

Enter two airports or cities to get the great-circle distance and an estimated flight time. Handy for planning routes, comparing itineraries and estimating jet lag.

Good to know

  • Great-circle distance is the shortest path over the globe — actual routes vary slightly.
  • Flight time estimates assume typical cruising speeds; headwinds and routing add time.
  • Long-haul (8+ hours) usually means crossing several time zones — plan for jet lag.

How is flight distance calculated?
Using the great-circle distance — the shortest path between two points over the earth's surface.

How accurate are flight time estimates?
They're close, but real flight times vary with routing, winds and air-traffic conditions.
