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 41m | 19h 06m |
| Narrowbody jet (A320, 737) | 780 km/h | 13h 10m | 13h 36m |
| Widebody jet (777, 787, A350) | 900 km/h | 11h 25m | 11h 50m |
| Private jet (Gulfstream) | 850 km/h | 12h 05m | 12h 31m |
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.

How far is Lima from Paris (Roissy-en-France, Val-d'Oise)?
10,276 kilometres in a straight line over the earth's surface — 6,385 miles or 5,549 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 CDG?
This page calculates the direct-line time and distance; it does not track airline schedules. At 10,276 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 13h 11m 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.
