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 | 19h 19m | 19h 44m |
| Narrowbody jet (A320, 737) | 780 km/h | 13h 37m | 14h 02m |
| Widebody jet (777, 787, A350) | 900 km/h | 11h 48m | 12h 13m |
| Private jet (Gulfstream) | 850 km/h | 12h 30m | 12h 55m |
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 Dubai to Montréal?
A non-stop flight from Dubai (DXB) to Montréal (YUL) takes about 13h 37m. The great-circle distance is 10,621 km (6,599 miles, 5,735 nautical miles), flying north-west on an initial bearing of 327°.
How far is Dubai from Montréal?
10,621 kilometres in a straight line over the earth's surface — 6,599 miles or 5,735 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 DXB and YUL?
This page calculates the direct-line time and distance; it does not track airline schedules. At 10,621 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 13h 37m 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.
