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 | 13h 02m | 13h 27m |
| Narrowbody jet (A320, 737) | 780 km/h | 9h 11m | 9h 36m |
| Widebody jet (777, 787, A350) | 900 km/h | 7h 58m | 8h 23m |
| Private jet (Gulfstream) | 850 km/h | 8h 26m | 8h 51m |
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 Beijing to Antalya?
A non-stop flight from Beijing (PEK) to Antalya (AYT) takes about 9h 19m. The great-circle distance is 7,166 km (4,453 miles, 3,869 nautical miles), flying north-west on an initial bearing of 298°.
How far is Beijing from Antalya?
7,166 kilometres in a straight line over the earth's surface — 4,453 miles or 3,869 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 PEK and AYT?
This page calculates the direct-line time and distance; it does not track airline schedules. At 7,166 km the route is comfortably within range of a non-stop service if an airline chooses to fly it. Check an airline or booking site for what is actually scheduled.
What should I expect on a 9h 19m 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.
