# Amsterdam to Singapore: distance, flight time and the route it really takes

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol to Singapore Changi is 10,514 km of great circle — 6,533 mi — and an estimated 13h 34m in the air. It crosses from Europe to Asia.

## What the aircraft actually flies over

From Amsterdam the path crosses Netherlands, then Germany, then Poland, then Belarus, then Ukraine, then Russia, then Kazakhstan, then Uzbekistan, then Tajikistan, then Afghanistan, then Pakistan, then India, then 1,840 km of open water, then Malaysia.

The furthest the great circle gets from the equator is 52.8°N, 7% of the way along.

Flying the line that looks straight on a Mercator map — one constant compass bearing — would cover 10,919 km. That is 405 km further, about 4% more, and roughly 30m of extra flying.

Leaving Amsterdam the aircraft points east (82°); it arrives into Singapore heading south-east (143°). That is 61° of drift without a single turn — the compass moves because the path is a curve on a sphere, not because the aircraft does.

One economy seat on it is about 1.49 t of CO₂e each way, counting non-CO₂ warming.
