CZ3101 route overview: CAN to PEK

CZ3101 distance and great-circle path

CZ3101 covers 1,881 km, or 1,169 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 206 by distance.

The plane leaves Guangzhou 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 CAN–PEK route appears on a tracker map.

Why CZ3101 block time differs from cruise time

The schedule allows 3.2 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 579 km/h. A Boeing 777-300ER 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.
