You're Saying Hong Kong to London? That's One Heck of a Hop, Skip, and a Jump!
So, you're thinking about ditching those dim sum deliveries for some proper fish and chips, eh? Trading Victoria Peak for Big Ben? Well, buckle up, because getting from Hong Kong to London is no walk in the park (unless you're planning on a very long walk).
The Straight Up Lowdown (in miles, because we're talking about London, not Mars)
The shortest distance between Hong Kong and London is about 5,973 miles (or 9,612 kilometers). That's further than you could throw a double-decker bus (and let's be honest, those things are heavy).
Fun Fact: If you ran a marathon (around 26 miles) every day, it would take you about 230 days to run from Hong Kong to London. By that time, you'd probably be fluent in Cantonese and have a serious case of jet lag from all that imaginary flying.
But Wait, There's More! (Because Options Are Always Nice)
Of course, there's more than one way to skin a cat (though we don't recommend trying that in either Hong Kong or London). You can fly (the quickest option, but definitely not for the budget-conscious), take a boat (be prepared for a very long journey), or even camel all the way through Russia (although customs might get a bit dicey).
Travel Tip: Unless you're a millionaire with a pet camel, flying is probably your best bet.
So, You've Decided to Fly? Here's What You Need to Know (Besides Packing an Eyemask)
Brace yourself for a journey that's roughly 11 to 13 hours long. Stock up on in-flight movies, because unless you're blessed with the sleep gene, you'll be wide awake watching the clouds go by.
Word to the Wise: Those tiny airplane seats were not designed for comfort. Consider doing some pre-flight stretches to avoid feeling like a pretzel by the time you land.
