Zhengzhou to Sydney

China · 64 months of data from Dec 2013 · Sydney to Zhengzhou

Flights on this pair are non-stop, but the aircraft usually continues beyond Zhengzhou 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

Sydney Zhengzhou

Distances are true from Sydney; the ring marks the distance to Zhengzhou.

How long is the flight?

Scheduled flight time from Zhengzhou to Sydney is 11h 10m gate to gate, over 8,521 km. Coming back takes 10h 50m — 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, 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.
