TG910 distance and great-circle path
TG910 covers 9,577 km, or 5,951 miles. That makes it an ultra-long-haul flight, near the limit of what most twinjets can fly non-stop. Of the 439 routes we track, it ranks 88 by distance.
The plane leaves Bangkok 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 BKK-LHR route appears on a tracker map.
Why TG910 block time differs from cruise time
The schedule allows 12.8 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 746 km/h. A Boeing 777-300ER 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 high-altitude winds behave in our guide to turbulence and jet streams.
Can the Boeing 777-300ER comfortably fly TG910?
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.
What to know about TG910
- Time change: you land 7 hours behind the time you left. That is enough to cause jet lag. Here is how pilots handle it.
