MS777 route overview: CAI to LHR

MS777 distance and great-circle path

MS777 covers 3,532 km, or 2,195 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 185 by distance.

The plane leaves Cairo 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 CAI–LHR route appears on a tracker map.

Why MS777 block time differs from cruise time

The schedule allows 5.4 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 652 km/h. A Boeing 787-9 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 what really moves flight times.
