The route
Distances are true from Melbourne; the ring marks the distance to Shenzhen.
How long is the flight?
Scheduled flight time from Shenzhen to Melbourne is 10h 5m gate to gate, over 7,425 km. Coming back takes 9h 45m — a difference of 20m, 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. 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.
