Preveza to Bangkok is 5,095 miles (8,199 km), a flight of about 9 hours 15 minutes.
While the takeoff favors the right side, the long cruise phase overwhelmingly favors the left, which faces the dramatic mountain corridor from eastern Turkey through the Zagros range, the edge of the Iranian plateau, and the foothills of the Hindu Kush and western Himalayas — far more dramatic than the flat Arabian Sea and southern Indian coastline visible on the right.
Flight Path
The flight's midpoint falls near the Iran-Pakistan border region, over the arid Makran coastal mountains and the Gulf of Oman approach, with the Zagros Mountains visible earlier in the route to the north.
