LX14 route overview: ZRH to JFK

LX14 distance and great-circle path

LX14 covers 6,310 km, or 3,921 miles. That makes it a long-haul flight, a widebody route with a full night's flying time. Of the 439 routes we track, it ranks 182 by distance.

The plane leaves Zurich 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 ZRH-JFK route appears on a tracker map.

Why LX14 block time differs from cruise time

The schedule allows 9.1 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 695 km/h. A Boeing 777-300ER 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.

Can the Boeing 777-300ER comfortably fly LX14?

Not at all. At roughly 46% of its range, this is an easy trip for a Boeing 777-300ER. The airline picked it for cabin size, not distance. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Boeing 777-300ER.

What to know about LX14

  • Time change: you land 5 hours behind the time you left. That is enough to cause jet lag. Here is how pilots handle it.

How much CO2 does LX14 emit?

Worked from the great-circle distance and the fuel burn measured for Boeing 777-300ER, the aircraft normally flying this route. Carbon dioxide only - see the method below.

Distance flown6,310 km
AircraftBoeing 777-300ER
Fuel burn rate8.86 kg per km
Fuel burned55,900 kg
CO2, whole flight176.6 tonnes
Seats, typical layout365
Passengers carried303 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger583 kg

Where that lands by cabin

The aircraft burns the same fuel whoever is aboard, so the cabins divide one total rather than each carrying their own. A seat's share is the floor it takes up, which is why an economy seat comes out below the 583 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy299 seats, 248 flown
423 kg CO2 per seat
Business55 seats, 46 flown
1,227 kg CO2 per seat
First11 seats, 9 flown
1,693 kg CO2 per seat

Taken whole, LX14 emits what 2,944 trees take back out of the air in a year. One economy seat on it accounts for about the same carbon dioxide as driving a petrol car 3,429 km, or 16,657 km of the same journey by train.

How this is worked out. Fuel burn is read from published measurements of this type, taken at sectors of 10,199 km, 11,112 km and 13,334 km, all longer than this route, so the closest is held flat and the real figure is likely a little higher. It counts carbon dioxide only, and the cabin split assumes the layout typical of this size of aircraft. Read the full method, sources and caveats, or put LX14 against another flight.
