U28323 distance and great-circle path
U28323 covers 364 km, or 226 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 253 by distance.
The plane leaves London heading north-east. 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 LGW–AMS route appears on a tracker map.
Why U28323 block time differs from cruise time
The schedule allows 1.2 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 291 km/h. An Airbus A320 cruises faster than that. The gap is taxi time, climbing, descending and holding.
Flying east, this route usually picks up tailwinds high up. The flight back west normally takes longer, even though the distance is identical. See what really moves flight times.
