W62201 route overview: BUD to LTN

W62201 distance and great-circle path

W62201 covers 1,491 km, or 926 miles. That makes it a short-haul flight, a single-aisle hop where turnaround time matters more than range. Of the 439 routes we track, it ranks 353 by distance.

The plane leaves Budapest 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 BUD-LTN route appears on a tracker map.

Why W62201 block time differs from cruise time

The schedule allows 2.6 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 577 km/h. An Airbus A321neo 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 what really moves flight times.

Can the Airbus A321neo comfortably fly W62201?

Not at all. At roughly 20% of its range, this is an easy trip for an Airbus A321neo. The airline picked it for cabin size, not distance. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Airbus A321neo.

How much CO2 does W62201 emit?

Worked from the great-circle distance and the fuel burn measured for Airbus A321neo, the aircraft normally flying this route. Carbon dioxide only - see the method below.

Distance flown1,491 km
AircraftAirbus A321neo
Fuel burn rate3.3 kg per km
Fuel burned4,919 kg
CO2, whole flight15.5 tonnes
Seats, typical layout180
Passengers carried149 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger104 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 104 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy158 seats, 131 flown
85 kg CO2 per seat
Business22 seats, 18 flown
246 kg CO2 per seat

Taken whole, W62201 emits what 259 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 614 km, or 2,981 km of the same journey by train.

How this is worked out. Fuel burn is read from published measurements of this type, taken at a 1,222 km sector, the only published sector for this type, applied to this route's 1,491 km unadjusted. 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 W62201 against another flight.
