G37650 distance and great-circle path
G37650 covers 6,869 km, or 4,268 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 127 by distance.
The plane leaves São Paulo 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 GRU–MCO route appears on a tracker map.
Why G37650 block time differs from cruise time
The schedule allows 8.7 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 793 km/h. A Boeing 737 MAX 8 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 timing changes the trip in our red-eye flight guide.
Can the Boeing 737 MAX 8 comfortably fly G37650?
Yes. The route uses roughly 106% of what a Boeing 737 MAX 8 can fly. On a windy day the airline may carry less cargo to save fuel. Flights this close to the limit are the ones that sometimes make a fuel stop. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Boeing 737 MAX 8.
