14h 18m The flight from Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS) to Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) covers 11,169 km (6,940 miles) and takes approximately 14h 18m gate to gate for a typical jet.
The route heads east on an initial great-circle bearing of 87°, passing near 6.2° N, 53.9° E at its midpoint.
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 | 20h 18m | 20h 44m |
| Narrowbody jet (A320, 737) | 780 km/h | 14h 19m | 14h 44m |
| Widebody jet (777, 787, A350) | 900 km/h | 12h 25m | 12h 50m |
| Private jet (Gulfstream) | 850 km/h | 13h 08m | 13h 34m |
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 Lagos to Singapore?
A non-stop flight from Lagos (LOS) to Singapore (SIN) takes about 14h 18m. The great-circle distance is 11,169 km (6,940 miles, 6,031 nautical miles), flying east on an initial bearing of 87°.
How far is Lagos from Singapore?
11,169 kilometres in a straight line over the earth's surface — 6,940 miles or 6,031 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 LOS and SIN?
This page calculates the direct-line time and distance; it does not track airline schedules. At 11,169 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 14h 18m 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.
