Flight Paths

This category is about where flights will fly over on a flight from origin to destination - for example the flight path from London to Brussels will just go over the English channel. This category also features questions about long haul flightpaths and where/which countries an international flight will fly over en route to it's destination (e.g London to Sydney).

What is the flight path from London Heathrow to Sydney Australia?

THE FLIGHT PATH LHR TO SYD IS CALLED EASTERN HEMISPHERE (EH) ROUTE BUT IF ITS LHR- ANY JAPNESE OR KOREAN CITY -SYD IT IS CALLED TRANS SIBERIAN (TS) ROUTE. SINCE THE WORLD IS ROUND WE CAN FLY EVEN CROSSING BOTH ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC OCEANS AND THE ROUTE WILL BE CALLED ATLANTIC PACIFIC (AT) ROUTE IT IS BETTER NOT TO TRAVEL VIA AP ROUTE.

What is the flight path from Sydney to Johannesburg?

The flight path From Sydney to Johannesburg is over the the edges of the South Pole.

The flight path depends on winds (and weather).

It never goes as far as the South Pole, but the flight route from Sydney to Johannesburg often does go almost to the edge of Antarctica where the jet stream is not quite as strong. The sea ice around the edge of Antarctica can occasionally be visible from the plane (especially in July in August when it is thickest).

The route from Johannesburg to Sydney stays further North to stay with the jet stream (which is now the same direction and therefore beneficial), and the flying time is much less in this direction.

What is the flight path from New York to Johannesburg?

South African airways provides one direct flight from Johannesburg to New York and vice versa. This flight requires a stop over in Dakar for refueling, but there is no plane change and the stop is usually less than an hour.

In addition, South African airways provides a direct flight from Jo'burg to Washington, DC (also with the Dakar pit stop).

I add the this pit stop in dakar is due , as Patrick Smith mentionned in his book , to the fact that johanessburg is at some elevation , so a long distance for takeoff is needed for a fully loaded aircraft, hence breaking the flight in two trips to refuel in dakar.

Show you the flight path between London and Vancouver?

Flight paths should be due west but for some odd reason they fly in what looks like a lowercase 'n' on the map.

Does the actual flight path from Washington D.C. to Johannesburg go through Europe?

No. I've not heard of any flights that go directly between Washington DC and Johannesburg but I imagine the flight will fly east over the Atlantic, then so a sharp curve southeast towards the Canary Islands and West Africa, then I think the flight will turn south over Nigeria and then head directly south to Johannesburg.

Do all planes take the same flight path from Manchester to Cancun?

No, this entirely depends on air traffic and weather conditions.

Would you fly over Germany on a flight from London to Dubai?

If you look at a map you will see that Dubai is on the Persian Gulf near the Strait of Hormuz. Draw a straight line to London and you will cross Germany. So I would say that you would cross Germany because that is the most direct route.

Gatwick Airport is about 28 miles (45 kilometers) south of central London.

How does a nose cone on a bottle rocket affect its flight path?

While a nose cone can either reduce or add drag, it provides a minimal amount of stability to the rocket' flight path. The fins are the most critical component for stabilizing a rocket's flight path; that's where your focus should be.

What is the flight path between Orange County California and Hong Kong?

I don't know the exact flight path, but maybe you can go to Google Earth and draw a straight line between the two cities. I think this should be a good estimation. When I flew from Chicago and Washington, DC to Beijing and Shanghai, we flew above Alaska and down through Russia.

Which counties in England would you fly over on a flight from London Heathrow to Newcastle-upon-Tyne?

A flight from Washington DC to Vienna will fly over much of the north Atlantic Ocean, then the plane would fly over the British Isles, flying over souther Ireland, south Wales and southern England (passing directly over London), the plane will then head southeast over Kent, England before heading to the continent. The flight would then cross the English channel and fly over Belgium, southern Germany (passing Frankfurt), then the plane will fly close to the Czech border before descending into Vienna, Austria.

What is the flight path from Orlando to London?

Exact routings between London and Orlando vary according to air traffic restrictions, weather conditions etc. A typical routing would be as follows: # After take off the aircraft heads South West towards Southhamton and the Isle of Wight. # It then follows the South Coast towards Devon before heading slightly North towards and then following West the Bristol Channel. # At this point the aircraft gets its transatlantic clearance which takes it West over the Atlantic towards New Foundland passing to the South of Ireland. The transatlantic part of the flight normally takes around 4 1/2 to 5 hours. # The aircraft then heads down the Eastern Seaboard of Canada and then the United States. Although there is very little to see on flights between the UK and North America the right side of the plane usually offers more to see. Major cities that the aircraft will pass close to include Boston, New York and Washington. Flight time is usually around 9 hours. On leaving the UK the aircraft may be routed towards Wales and then over Ireland but in almost all circumstances the plane will enter North America around New Foundland. Aircraft going to the West Coast will usually cross the Atlantic further North often crossing Greenland. Flights destined for the East Coast follow the same route as that to Orlando. Owing to time zones flights between Europe and North America tend to be during the day and North America to Europe flights are usually at night. Eastbound flights are around an hour shorter than Westbound ones owing to the jetstream assisting the plane.

Why do planes take such a roundabout flight path when flying overseas.. From Dubai to Atlanta our semi-circular flight path took us way north up over Iceland and the tip of Greenland?

The earth is flatter in the polar region. So, the distance from Dubai to Atlanta is shorter if the plane goes over the poles than if it goes around the equator.

What is the flight path from Vancouver to London?

The flight path varies dramatically, I've seen the planes take 4 routes:

The typical flight path is over the Yorkshire dales and Central Scotland. The second most common route is heading north towards Manchester and then turning northwest towards Belfast. The third most common route is heading west over the Brecon Beacons in Wales then northwest to Dublin. Although very rare and not used very often, the planes head directly north taking them over York, Newcastle, the North Sea and Aberdeenshire.
