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 | 16h 57m | 17h 22m |
| Narrowbody jet (A320, 737) | 780 km/h | 11h 57m | 12h 22m |
| Widebody jet (777, 787, A350) | 900 km/h | 10h 22m | 10h 47m |
| Private jet (Gulfstream) | 850 km/h | 10h 58m | 11h 23m |
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 Luxembourg to Hong Kong?
A non-stop flight from Luxembourg (LUX) to Hong Kong (HKG) takes about 12h 00m. The great-circle distance is 9,325 km (5,794 miles, 5,035 nautical miles), flying north-east on an initial bearing of 62°.
How far is Luxembourg from Hong Kong?
9,325 kilometres in a straight line over the earth's surface — 5,794 miles or 5,035 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 LUX and HKG?
This page calculates the direct-line time and distance; it does not track airline schedules. At 9,325 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 00m 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.
