The route

Adelaide Guangzhou

Distances are true from Adelaide; the ring marks the distance to Guangzhou.

How long is the flight?

Scheduled flight time from Adelaide to Guangzhou is 9h 5m gate to gate, over 6,985 km. The return leg is scheduled at much the same, 9h.

Scheduled block time — gate to gate, not time in the air — taken from the current timetable for this leg. Long-haul flights are often timetabled differently in each direction because of winds aloft, so the return is not always the same length. Check your own booking for the flight you are taking.

How full were the flights?

Inbound load factor. Every flight on this pair served no other city pair, so the seat count is unambiguous and these figures are exact. Seat data begins in 2009, so this series is shorter than the passenger chart above.
