# Tokyo to Taipei: distance, flight time and the route it really takes

## What the aircraft actually flies over

From Tokyo the path crosses Japan, then 1,645 km of open water.

The furthest the great circle gets from the equator is 35.5°N, 0% of the way along.

Holding a single compass bearing the whole way would cover almost exactly the same ground, so on this route the flat map and the globe agree.

Leaving Tokyo the aircraft points south-west (242°); it arrives into Taipei heading south-west (232°). That is 9° 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 315 kg of CO₂e each way, counting non-CO₂ warming.
