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.

Questions
How long is the flight from Plaine Magnien to Hong Kong?
A non-stop flight from Plaine Magnien (MRU) to Hong Kong (HKG) takes about 10h 02m. The great-circle distance is 7,734 km (4,806 miles, 4,176 nautical miles), flying north-east on an initial bearing of 55°.
How far is Plaine Magnien from Hong Kong?
7,734 kilometres in a straight line over the earth's surface — 4,806 miles or 4,176 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 MRU and HKG?
This page calculates the direct-line time and distance; it does not track airline schedules. At 7,734 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 02m 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.
