Essen to Beijing flight time

Beijing is 7,776 km (4,832 miles) from Essen in a straight line, and the flight leaves heading north-east. Beijing lies 12° of latitude nearer the equator than Essen, a different climate band altogether. Flying through Munich, the two legs add up to about 12 h 35 min in the air, and the wait between them comes on top. This is one of the longest flights you can book, so a night in the air is part of the plan.
