Booking Through HBA Across GDS Systems

The same availability check looks different depending on the GDS in front of you. Here's the pattern for a generic search into HBA, using HBA as the destination:

Amadeus:  AN15JULLHRHBA

Swap in the actual origin code and date for a live search — the structure (date, then city pair) stays the same across systems.

Distance & Flight Time from Other Major Hubs

Real, calculated straight-line distances (great-circle) and a rough nonstop flight-time estimate:

HubDistanceEst. Flight Time

JFK (New York)16,615 km / 10,324 mi≈ 19.5h nonstop
DXB (Dubai)12,048 km / 7,487 mi≈ 14.2h nonstop

SYD (Sydney)1,039 km / 646 mi≈ 1.2h nonstop

Flight time is a rough estimate based on typical long-haul cruise speed — actual routing, wind, and aircraft type will change the real duration.
