Dallas to Melbourne
USA · 44 months of data from Mar 2000 · Melbourne to Dallas
Flights on this pair are non-stop, but the aircraft usually continues beyond Dallas rather than terminating there. That is why the seat figures below cover more than this one pair, and why the load factor is given as a floor rather than an exact number.

The route
Distances are true from Melbourne; the ring marks the distance to Dallas.
How long is the flight?
Scheduled flight time from Dallas to Melbourne is 17h 40m gate to gate, over 14,472 km. Coming back takes 16h 10m — a difference of 1h 30m, so this direction is the slower one.
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, read as a floor rather than an exact figure. Some flights on this pair also carried passengers to and from other cities, and their seats cannot be split between those journeys. Dividing by every seat on every aircraft that touched the route gives the lowest the true figure can be, so actual occupancy is at or above the line. Seat data begins in 2009, so this series is shorter than the passenger chart above.
