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 | 21h 07m | 21h 32m |
| Narrowbody jet (A320, 737) | 780 km/h | 14h 54m | 15h 19m |
| Widebody jet (777, 787, A350) | 900 km/h | 12h 54m | 13h 20m |
| Private jet (Gulfstream) | 850 km/h | 13h 40m | 14h 05m |
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 Tashkent to Los Angeles?
A non-stop flight from Tashkent (TAS) to Los Angeles (LAX) takes about 14h 51m. The great-circle distance is 11,616 km (7,218 miles, 6,272 nautical miles), flying north on an initial bearing of 7°.
How far is Tashkent from Los Angeles?
11,616 kilometres in a straight line over the earth's surface — 7,218 miles or 6,272 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 TAS and LAX?
This page calculates the direct-line time and distance; it does not track airline schedules. At 11,616 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 14h 51m 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.
