FX9 distance and great-circle path
FX9 covers 7,515 km, or 4,670 miles. That makes it a long-haul flight, a widebody route with a full night's flying time. Of the 255 routes we track, it ranks 118 by distance.
The plane leaves Memphis 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 MEM–CGN route appears on a tracker map.
Why FX9 block time differs from cruise time
The schedule allows 8.7 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 867 km/h. A Boeing 777F 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 how high-altitude winds behave in our guide to turbulence and jet streams.
Can the Boeing 777F comfortably fly FX9?
Not really. It uses about 82% of the Boeing 777F's range. That leaves room for a full load of passengers and bags. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Boeing 777F.
What to know about FX9
- Time change: you land 7 hours ahead of the time you left. That is enough to cause jet lag. Here is how pilots handle it.
