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 | 15h 16m | 15h 41m |
| Narrowbody jet (A320, 737) | 780 km/h | 10h 46m | 11h 11m |
| Widebody jet (777, 787, A350) | 900 km/h | 9h 20m | 9h 45m |
| Private jet (Gulfstream) | 850 km/h | 9h 53m | 10h 18m |
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 Las Vegas to London?
A non-stop flight from Las Vegas (LAS) to London (LHR) takes about 10h 51m. The great-circle distance is 8,395 km (5,216 miles, 4,533 nautical miles), flying north-east on an initial bearing of 36°.
How far is Las Vegas from London?
8,395 kilometres in a straight line over the earth's surface — 5,216 miles or 4,533 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 LAS and LHR?
This page calculates the direct-line time and distance; it does not track airline schedules. At 8,395 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 10h 51m 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.
