LX92 distance and great-circle path
LX92 covers 9,609 km, or 5,971 miles. That makes it an ultra-long-haul flight, near the limit of what most twinjets can fly non-stop. Of the 347 routes we track, it ranks 78 by distance.
This flight changes hemisphere. Zurich sits in the northern half of the world and São Paulo in the southern, so the 9,609 km run south-west lands in the opposite season to the one it left. Watches move 5 hours back between the two gates. It links Switzerland with Brazil.
Our guide explains how the ZRH-GRU route appears on a tracker map.
Can the Boeing 777-300ER comfortably fly LX92?
Not really. It uses about 70% of the Boeing 777-300ER's range. That leaves room for a full load of passengers and bags. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Boeing 777-300ER.
