TP285 distance and great-circle path
TP285 covers 5,780 km, or 3,591 miles. That makes it a long-haul flight, a widebody route with a full night's flying time. Of the 255 routes we track, it ranks 146 by distance.
The plane leaves Lisbon heading south-east. 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 LIS–LAD route appears on a tracker map.
Why TP285 block time differs from cruise time
The schedule allows 7.8 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 746 km/h. An Airbus A330-900 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 how timing changes the trip in our red-eye flight guide.
What to know about TP285
- Time change: none. Both cities keep the same clock, so arrival time reads exactly as you expect.
- Crosses the equator: you swap seasons between takeoff and landing.
