LA841 distance and great-circle path
LA841 covers 3,752 km, or 2,332 miles. That makes it a medium-haul flight, long enough for a full meal service, short enough for narrowbodies. Of the 439 routes we track, it ranks 262 by distance.
The plane leaves Santiago 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 SCL-IPC route appears on a tracker map.
Why LA841 block time differs from cruise time
The schedule allows 5.7 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 662 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 what really moves flight times.
Can the Boeing 787-9 comfortably fly LA841?
Not at all. At roughly 27% of its range, this is an easy trip for a Boeing 787-9. The airline picked it for cabin size, not distance. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Boeing 787-9.
