Ted Stevens Anchorage International to Hampton Roads Executive ANC → PVG
3,042 nautical miles (3,500 statute miles) east on a straight line, true course 083°, about 067° magnetic at the departure end (variation 16E). At 120 knots that is 18 h 33 min at the quickest height in today's winds (39,000 ft, a 44-knot tailwind), arriving about 4:43 pm EDT (20:43 UTC). Right now ANC is marginal VFR, wind from the west (260°) at 4 knots; PVG is marginal VFR, wind from the south-southwest (210°) at 8 knots, gusting to 16. For planning, not a briefing: the legal preflight briefing comes from Flight Service (1-800-WX-BRIEF) or the FAA's own tools. Airlines fly this pair: 4,805 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

The eastbound cruising heights for this course (VFR: odd thousands plus 500 ft; above 18,000 ft the forecast levels), with the wind averaged along the line from the 6 forecast points nearest it (ANC, GKN, ORT, YAK, JNU, ANN). A plus sign is a headwind, a minus sign a tailwind.

Based on data from the 11th at 18:00 UTC; valid on the 12th at 00:00 UTC for use 20:00 to 03:00 UTC; temperatures above 24,000 ft are below zero. Heights are above sea level; a height is left out when the forecast has no wind for it over most of the line (the ground is higher). Ground speed is the airspeed less the headwind; the time en route is for the straight line and ignores climb, descent and routing around weather.
