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 | 35h 04m | 35h 30m |
| Narrowbody jet (A320, 737) | 780 km/h | 24h 44m | 25h 09m |
| Widebody jet (777, 787, A350) | 900 km/h | 21h 26m | 21h 51m |
| Private jet (Gulfstream) | 850 km/h | 22h 42m | 23h 07m |
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 Buenos Aires (Ezeiza)?
A non-stop flight from Beijing (PEK) to Buenos Aires (Ezeiza) (EZE) takes about 24h 23m. The great-circle distance is 19,290 km (11,986 miles, 10,416 nautical miles), flying north-west on an initial bearing of 322°.
How far is Beijing from Buenos Aires (Ezeiza)?
19,290 kilometres in a straight line over the earth's surface — 11,986 miles or 10,416 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 EZE?
This page calculates the direct-line time and distance; it does not track airline schedules. At 19,290 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 24h 23m 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.
