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 | 18h 07m | 18h 33m |
| Narrowbody jet (A320, 737) | 780 km/h | 12h 47m | 13h 12m |
| Widebody jet (777, 787, A350) | 900 km/h | 11h 05m | 11h 30m |
| Private jet (Gulfstream) | 850 km/h | 11h 44m | 12h 09m |
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 Copenhagen to Singapore?
A non-stop flight from Copenhagen (CPH) to Singapore (SIN) takes about 12h 48m. The great-circle distance is 9,968 km (6,194 miles, 5,382 nautical miles), flying east on an initial bearing of 88°.
How far is Copenhagen from Singapore?
9,968 kilometres in a straight line over the earth's surface — 6,194 miles or 5,382 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 CPH and SIN?
This page calculates the direct-line time and distance; it does not track airline schedules. At 9,968 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 12h 48m 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.
