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 56m | 21h 22m |
| Narrowbody jet (A320, 737) | 780 km/h | 14h 46m | 15h 11m |
| Widebody jet (777, 787, A350) | 900 km/h | 12h 48m | 13h 13m |
| Private jet (Gulfstream) | 850 km/h | 13h 33m | 13h 58m |
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 Los Angeles to Antalya?
A non-stop flight from Los Angeles (LAX) to Antalya (AYT) takes about 14h 44m. The great-circle distance is 11,517 km (7,156 miles, 6,219 nautical miles), flying north-east on an initial bearing of 25°.
How far is Los Angeles from Antalya?
11,517 kilometres in a straight line over the earth's surface — 7,156 miles or 6,219 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 LAX and AYT?
This page calculates the direct-line time and distance; it does not track airline schedules. At 11,517 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 44m 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.
