AK1420 distance and great-circle path
AK1420 covers 455 km, or 283 miles. That makes it a short-haul flight, a single-aisle hop where turnaround time matters more than range. Of the 255 routes we track, it ranks 247 by distance.
The plane leaves Kuala Lumpur heading north-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 KUL–LGK route appears on a tracker map.
Why AK1420 block time differs from cruise time
The schedule allows 1.1 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 420 km/h. An Airbus A320 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.
