Follow AF6 in real time

The aircraft appears below whenever it is airborne and inside receiver coverage. Its planned route is drawn between the two airports.

AF6 is not transmitting right now. It may be between rotations, on the ground, or out of receiver range - Check back near 13:30 at CDG. The full map has the rest of the sky, and what is flying over me will name whatever is above you instead.

  • When it goes: out of CDG in midday, into JFK in the afternoon.

AF6 route overview: CDG to JFK

AF6 distance and great-circle path

AF6 covers 5,833 km, or 3,625 miles. That makes it a long-haul flight, a widebody route with a full night's flying time. Of the 439 routes we track, it ranks 197 by distance.

The plane leaves Paris heading west. On the map above, the line looks curved. That is normal. The shortest path over a round planet never looks straight on a flat screen. Our guide explains how the CDG-JFK route appears on a tracker map.

Why AF6 block time differs from cruise time

The schedule allows 8.3 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 700 km/h. A Boeing 777-300ER cruises faster than that. The gap is taxi time, climbing, descending and holding.

Flying west, this route pushes against the wind. The trip back east is usually shorter, even though the distance is the same. See how high-altitude winds behave in our guide to turbulence and jet streams.

Can the Boeing 777-300ER comfortably fly AF6?

Not at all. At roughly 43% of its range, this is an easy trip for a Boeing 777-300ER. The airline picked it for cabin size, not distance. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Boeing 777-300ER.

What to know about AF6

  • Time change: you land 5 hours behind the time you left. That is enough to cause jet lag. Here is how pilots handle it.

How much CO2 does AF6 emit?

Worked from the great-circle distance and the fuel burn measured for Boeing 777-300ER, the aircraft normally flying this route. Carbon dioxide only - see the method below.

Distance flown5,833 km
AircraftBoeing 777-300ER
Fuel burn rate8.86 kg per km
Fuel burned51,675 kg
CO2, whole flight163.3 tonnes
Seats, typical layout365
Passengers carried303 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger539 kg

Where that lands by cabin

The aircraft burns the same fuel whoever is aboard, so the cabins divide one total rather than each carrying their own. A seat's share is the floor it takes up, which is why an economy seat comes out below the 539 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy299 seats, 248 flown
391 kg CO2 per seat
Business55 seats, 46 flown
1,135 kg CO2 per seat
First11 seats, 9 flown
1,565 kg CO2 per seat

Taken whole, AF6 emits what 2,722 trees take back out of the air in a year. One economy seat on it accounts for about the same carbon dioxide as driving a petrol car 3,170 km, or 15,398 km of the same journey by train.

How this is worked out. Fuel burn is read from published measurements of this type, taken at sectors of 10,199 km, 11,112 km and 13,334 km, all longer than this route, so the closest is held flat and the real figure is likely a little higher. It counts carbon dioxide only, and the cabin split assumes the layout typical of this size of aircraft. Read the full method, sources and caveats, or put AF6 against another flight.
