Melbourne to Beijing flight time
Beijing is 9,120 km (5,667 miles) from Melbourne in a straight line, and the flight leaves heading north. The flight crosses the equator, so the seasons at the two ends run opposite. Flying through Ho Chi Minh City, the two legs add up to about 14 h 55 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.
