JL33 route overview: HND to BKK

JL33 distance and great-circle path

JL33 covers 4,588 km, or 2,851 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 172 by distance.

The plane leaves Tokyo heading 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 HND–BKK route appears on a tracker map.

Why JL33 block time differs from cruise time

The schedule allows 6.9 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 663 km/h. A Boeing 787-9 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 how high-altitude winds behave in our guide to turbulence and jet streams.
