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 | 30h 01m | 30h 26m |
| Narrowbody jet (A320, 737) | 780 km/h | 21h 10m | 21h 35m |
| Widebody jet (777, 787, A350) | 900 km/h | 18h 21m | 18h 46m |
| Private jet (Gulfstream) | 850 km/h | 19h 25m | 19h 51m |
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 Nadi from Paris (Roissy-en-France, Val-d'Oise)?
16,510 kilometres in a straight line over the earth's surface — 10,259 miles or 8,915 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 NAN and CDG?
This page calculates the direct-line time and distance; it does not track airline schedules. At 16,510 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 20h 56m 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.
