The route
The great-circle path — the shortest line between the two airports across the curve of the earth. On a flat map it looks bent; on a globe it is straight.
Flight time at different cruise speeds
Aircraft type, winds and routing all move the real number. This is the same distance flown at different speeds, plus the 25-minute ground and climb allowance.
| Typical of | Cruise speed | Airborne | Gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Turboprop / regional | 550 km/h | 26h 43m | 27h 08m |
| Narrowbody jet (A320, 737) | 780 km/h | 18h 50m | 19h 15m |
| Widebody jet (777, 787, A350) | 900 km/h | 16h 19m | 16h 45m |
| Private jet (Gulfstream) | 850 km/h | 17h 17m | 17h 42m |
Headwinds on an eastbound long-haul routinely add 30–60 minutes; the same route westbound can be quicker. Airlines publish schedules with padding built in.

Questions
How long is the flight from Antalya to Sydney (Mascot)?
A non-stop flight from Antalya (AYT) to Sydney (Mascot) (SYD) takes about 18h 40m. The great-circle distance is 14,692 km (9,129 miles, 7,933 nautical miles), flying east on an initial bearing of 105°.
How far is Antalya from Sydney (Mascot)?
14,692 kilometres in a straight line over the earth's surface — 9,129 miles or 7,933 nautical miles. Actual flown distance is usually 2–5% longer because aircraft follow airways, avoid weather and route around restricted airspace.
Is there a non-stop flight between AYT and SYD?
This page calculates the direct-line time and distance; it does not track airline schedules. At 14,692 km the route is at the extreme end of what any airliner can fly non-stop, so a connection is likely. Check an airline or booking site for what is actually scheduled.
What should I expect on a 18h 40m flight?
Anything past six hours is a long-haul flight: expect at least one meal service, a significant time-zone shift, and enough sitting that circulation and hydration start to matter. Cabin altitude, dry air and disrupted sleep do more damage to a training routine than the flight itself.
