TG920 distance and great-circle path
TG920 covers 8,999 km, or 5,592 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 112 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-FRA route appears on a tracker map.
Why TG920 block time differs from cruise time
The schedule allows 12.1 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 745 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 timing changes the trip in our red-eye flight guide.
Can the Boeing 777-300ER comfortably fly TG920?
Not really. It uses about 66% 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 TG920
- Time change: you land 6 hours behind the time you left. That is enough to cause jet lag. Here is how pilots handle it.
