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 | 26h 57m | 27h 23m |
| Narrowbody jet (A320, 737) | 780 km/h | 19h 01m | 19h 26m |
| Widebody jet (777, 787, A350) | 900 km/h | 16h 28m | 16h 54m |
| Private jet (Gulfstream) | 850 km/h | 17h 27m | 17h 52m |
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 Lima to Dubai?
A non-stop flight from Lima (LIM) to Dubai (DXB) takes about 18h 50m. The great-circle distance is 14,827 km (9,213 miles, 8,006 nautical miles), flying north-east on an initial bearing of 67°.
How far is Lima from Dubai?
14,827 kilometres in a straight line over the earth's surface — 9,213 miles or 8,006 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 LIM and DXB?
This page calculates the direct-line time and distance; it does not track airline schedules. At 14,827 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 18h 50m 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.
