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 | 15h 27m | 15h 52m |
| Narrowbody jet (A320, 737) | 780 km/h | 10h 53m | 11h 19m |
| Widebody jet (777, 787, A350) | 900 km/h | 9h 26m | 9h 51m |
| Private jet (Gulfstream) | 850 km/h | 10h 00m | 10h 25m |
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 Paris (Roissy-en-France, Val-d'Oise) to Chongqing?
A non-stop flight from Paris (Roissy-en-France, Val-d'Oise) (CDG) to Chongqing (CKG) takes about 10h 58m. The great-circle distance is 8,494 km (5,278 miles, 4,586 nautical miles), flying north-east on an initial bearing of 60°.
How far is Paris (Roissy-en-France, Val-d'Oise) from Chongqing?
8,494 kilometres in a straight line over the earth's surface — 5,278 miles or 4,586 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 CDG and CKG?
This page calculates the direct-line time and distance; it does not track airline schedules. At 8,494 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 10h 58m 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.
