The duration of a flight, between the UK and Australia may differ depending on the cities of departure and arrival. The shortest distance connecting these two countries spans 15,000 kilometers (9,320 miles) from London to Perth while the longest distance covers around 17,000 kilometers (10,562 miles) from London to Sydney. Nevertheless it’s worth noting that most flights originating in the UK and heading towards Australia often include layovers or stopovers, along the way, which ultimately adds to the distance covered during travel.
