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 23m | 18h 48m |
| Narrowbody jet (A320, 737) | 780 km/h | 12h 58m | 13h 23m |
| Widebody jet (777, 787, A350) | 900 km/h | 11h 14m | 11h 39m |
| Private jet (Gulfstream) | 850 km/h | 11h 54m | 12h 19m |
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 Palma de Mallorca?
A non-stop flight from Hong Kong (HKG) to Palma de Mallorca (PMI) takes about 12h 59m. The great-circle distance is 10,109 km (6,281 miles, 5,458 nautical miles), flying north-west on an initial bearing of 314°.
How far is Hong Kong from Palma de Mallorca?
10,109 kilometres in a straight line over the earth's surface — 6,281 miles or 5,458 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 PMI?
This page calculates the direct-line time and distance; it does not track airline schedules. At 10,109 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 12h 59m 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.
