About this distance
How is the distance from London to Turku calculated?
The distance shown (1,698 km) is the great-circle distance — the shortest path on the surface of a sphere between London (51.5085°, -0.1257°) and Turku (60.4515°, 22.2687°). It is computed with the Haversine formula, which is accurate to within about 0.5% of the true geodetic distance (the Earth is slightly flattened, not a perfect sphere).
How long does it take to fly from London to Turku?
A commercial aircraft cruises at about 900 km/h. At that speed, 1,698 km translates to roughly 1.9 hours of flight time (not including taxiing, take-off, landing, or wind). Actual scheduled flight times are usually 10–20% longer due to routing and air-traffic control.
