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 | 30h 42m | 31h 07m |
| Narrowbody jet (A320, 737) | 780 km/h | 21h 39m | 22h 04m |
| Widebody jet (777, 787, A350) | 900 km/h | 18h 46m | 19h 11m |
| Private jet (Gulfstream) | 850 km/h | 19h 52m | 20h 17m |
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 Hong Kong to Bogota?
A non-stop flight from Hong Kong (HKG) to Bogota (BOG) takes about 21h 24m. The great-circle distance is 16,886 km (10,492 miles, 9,118 nautical miles), flying north on an initial bearing of 17°.
How far is Hong Kong from Bogota?
16,886 kilometres in a straight line over the earth's surface — 10,492 miles or 9,118 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 HKG and BOG?
This page calculates the direct-line time and distance; it does not track airline schedules. At 16,886 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 21h 24m 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.
