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 | 19h 48m | 20h 13m |
| Narrowbody jet (A320, 737) | 780 km/h | 13h 58m | 14h 23m |
| Widebody jet (777, 787, A350) | 900 km/h | 12h 06m | 12h 31m |
| Private jet (Gulfstream) | 850 km/h | 12h 49m | 13h 14m |
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 Porto?
A non-stop flight from Narita (NRT) to Porto (OPO) takes about 13h 57m. The great-circle distance is 10,889 km (6,766 miles, 5,880 nautical miles), flying north-west on an initial bearing of 337°.
How far is Narita from Porto?
10,889 kilometres in a straight line over the earth's surface — 6,766 miles or 5,880 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 OPO?
This page calculates the direct-line time and distance; it does not track airline schedules. At 10,889 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 57m 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.
