BR225 distance and great-circle path
BR225 covers 2,489 km, or 1,546 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 192 by distance.
The plane leaves Taipei heading south-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 TPE–BKK route appears on a tracker map.
Why BR225 block time differs from cruise time
The schedule allows 3.8 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 664 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 what really moves flight times.
Can the Boeing 777-300ER comfortably fly BR225?
Not at all. At roughly 18% 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.
