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 50m | 19h 15m |
| Narrowbody jet (A320, 737) | 780 km/h | 13h 16m | 13h 42m |
| Widebody jet (777, 787, A350) | 900 km/h | 11h 30m | 11h 55m |
| Private jet (Gulfstream) | 850 km/h | 12h 11m | 12h 36m |
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 Narita to Montréal?
A non-stop flight from Narita (NRT) to Montréal (YUL) takes about 13h 17m. The great-circle distance is 10,354 km (6,434 miles, 5,591 nautical miles), flying north-east on an initial bearing of 23°.
How far is Narita from Montréal?
10,354 kilometres in a straight line over the earth's surface — 6,434 miles or 5,591 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 NRT and YUL?
This page calculates the direct-line time and distance; it does not track airline schedules. At 10,354 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 17m 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.
