How long is a flight from California to France?

From Northern California to Paris, France?
(Direct flight.)

Or, here's a different question.

If you left Northern California at 11:00PM, what time would you arrive in Paris?

Ok Izzy, I'm calling "foul" on this one. You've already got 4 good answers, then you changed the question. That's not fair. You should *not* pick a best answer--just let it go to vote.

The time zone difference between west coast USA and France is 9 hours. So, if you depart SFO at 11pm, arrival to France--assuming a nonstop flight--would be approximately 6:30pm France time. This is because nonstop flights are scheduled for 10.5 hours, and 11pm SFO time = 8am PAR time. Add 10.5 hours from 8am = 6:30pm Paris time.

12 hrs. give or take.

sounds like heLL to me.

I flew on a direct flight from Vancouver (Canada) to Frankfurt, and it took ten hours. I would expect that your flight to France would be a little bit longer than that.

At least 10 hrs nonstop. If you leave CA at 11pm, you'll get to Paris 9am the next day.

I'm a former Flight Attendant who used to work this flight a lot.

SFO to Paris was about 10 hours or a bit more. Coming back was a little over 11 hours.

Remember published flight times are "padded" to adsorb delays and just in case of bad head winds. They're the longest *possible* flight times.

Most SFO/CDG flights leave in the afternoon, arriving in Paris in the morning.

Hope that helps!
