AS11 route overview: JFK to LAX

AS11 distance and great-circle path

AS11 covers 3,974 km, or 2,470 miles. That makes it a medium-haul flight, long enough for a full meal service, short enough for narrowbodies. Of the 255 routes we track, it ranks 180 by distance.

The plane leaves New York 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 JFK–LAX route appears on a tracker map.

Why AS11 block time differs from cruise time

The schedule allows 6.5 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 613 km/h. A Boeing 737-900ER 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 what really moves flight times.

Can the Boeing 737-900ER comfortably fly AS11?

Not really. It uses about 73% of the Boeing 737-900ER's range. That leaves room for a full load of passengers and bags. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Boeing 737-900ER.

What to know about AS11

  • Time change: you land 3 hours behind the time you left.

AS11 against the rest of the JFK-LAX pairing

We track 3 scheduled services between New York and Los Angeles, flown by 3 different carriers. Among them, it is the first departure of the day on this route; it is given 9 minutes more block time than the quickest scheduled service; it is the only one flown with a Boeing 737-900ER.

Measured against AS11, which pushes back at 07:30:

  • AA1 (American Airlines) leaves 30 minutes later and is given the same block time, on an Airbus A321T.
  • B6615 (JetBlue Airways) leaves 30 minutes later and is scheduled 9 minutes quicker, on an Airbus A321.

Block time is gate to gate, so it counts taxi at both ends. That is why two flights covering identical distance rarely share a scheduled duration.
