AV20 route overview: BOG to JFK

AV20 distance and great-circle path

AV20 covers 3,996 km, or 2,483 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 177 by distance.

The plane leaves Bogotá heading north. 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 BOG–JFK route appears on a tracker map.

Why AV20 block time differs from cruise time

The schedule allows 5.8 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 685 km/h. A Boeing 787-8 cruises faster than that. The gap is taxi time, climbing, descending and holding.

Winds aloft shift the real flight time by up to an hour in either direction. See what really moves flight times.
