How far is Buenos Aires (Ezeiza) from Sydney (Mascot)?
11,767 kilometres in a straight line over the earth's surface — 7,311 miles or 6,353 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 EZE and SYD?
This page calculates the direct-line time and distance; it does not track airline schedules. At 11,767 km the route is within reach of long-range widebodies, though not every city pair is served non-stop. Check an airline or booking site for what is actually scheduled.
What should I expect on a 15h 02m 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.
