B6615 route overview: JFK to LAX

B6615 distance and great-circle path

B6615 covers 3,974 km, or 2,470 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 180 by distance.

The plane leaves New York 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 JFK–LAX route appears on a tracker map.

Why B6615 block time differs from cruise time

The schedule allows 6.3 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 628 km/h. An Airbus A321 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 Airbus A321 comfortably fly B6615?

Not really. It uses about 67% of the Airbus A321's range. That leaves room for a full load of passengers and bags. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Airbus A321.

What to know about B6615

  • Time change: you land 3 hours behind the time you left.

B6615 against the rest of the JFK-LAX pairing

We track 3 scheduled services between New York and Los Angeles, flown by 3 different carriers. Among them, it is the last departure of the day on this route; it is scheduled quicker than anything else on the pairing; it is the only one flown with an Airbus A321.

Measured against B6615, which pushes back at 08:00:

  • AS11 (Alaska Airlines) leaves 30 minutes earlier and is scheduled 9 minutes slower, on a Boeing 737-900ER.
  • AA1 (American Airlines) leaves at the same time and is scheduled 5 minutes slower, on an Airbus A321T.

Block time is gate to gate, so it counts taxi at both ends. That is why two flights covering identical distance rarely share a scheduled duration.
