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 | 16h 31m | 16h 56m |

Questions
How long is the flight from Sydney (Mascot) to Dhaka?
A non-stop flight from Sydney (Mascot) (SYD) to Dhaka (DAC) takes about 11h 42m. The great-circle distance is 9,083 km (5,644 miles, 4,904 nautical miles), flying north-west on an initial bearing of 306°.
How far is Sydney (Mascot) from Dhaka?
9,083 kilometres in a straight line over the earth's surface — 5,644 miles or 4,904 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 SYD and DAC?
This page calculates the direct-line time and distance; it does not track airline schedules. At 9,083 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 11h 42m 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.
