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.

Questions
How long is the flight from Los Angeles to Segrate (MI)?
A non-stop flight from Los Angeles (LAX) to Segrate (MI) (LIN) takes about 12h 31m. The great-circle distance is 9,739 km (6,052 miles, 5,259 nautical miles), flying north-east on an initial bearing of 34°.
How far is Los Angeles from Segrate (MI)?
9,739 kilometres in a straight line over the earth's surface — 6,052 miles or 5,259 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 LIN?
This page calculates the direct-line time and distance; it does not track airline schedules. At 9,739 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 12h 31m 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.
