Quick answer: Reus to Birmingham distance at a glance
Flight distance from Reus (REU) to Birmingham (BHX) is 793 miles (1,276 km, 689 nm) great-circle using real OpenFlights coordinates, with an estimated nonstop time of 1h 35m and route type medium-haul regional. Coordinates are 41.15°, 1.17° → 52.45°, -1.75°, bearing 351° north from haversine formula.
Facts computed from OpenFlights — not estimated. See methodology below.
The great-circle distance from Reus (REU, Spain) to Birmingham (BHX, United Kingdom) is 793 miles (1,276 kilometers, 689 nautical miles). This is the shortest path a plane could fly between the two airports, measured along the surface of the Earth using the haversine formula on the airports' real published coordinates (41.15°, 1.17° for REU; 52.45°, -1.75° for BHX). A nonstop flight on this route is estimated to take about 1 hour and 35 minutes, assuming a typical cruise ground speed of 500 mph including climb-out and descent. The destination lies roughly north of the origin (initial bearing 351°), placing the midpoint of this route near coordinates (46.80°, -0.29°).
By route type, this is a medium-haul regional flight. Medium-haul routes are usually nonstop on narrowbody aircraft such as the Airbus A320 or Boeing 737 — a 1.5–3 hour flight that rarely needs a connection. The destination's solar time zone is 0 hour the same as the origin (see our time zone tool for the full breakdown). Estimated carbon footprint per passenger is about 71 kg CO₂ in economy, and the route difficulty score is 3/10.
Great-circle route from Reus (REU, 41.15°, 1.17°) to Birmingham (BHX, 52.45°, -1.75°). The dashed line is the shortest path between the two airports on the Earth's surface — the path a nonstop flight would follow. The midpoint at (46.80°, -0.29°) gives a sense of which region the flight overflies.
How this distance is calculated
TripRoute computes the great-circle distance between two airports using the haversine formula applied to each airport's published latitude and longitude from the public OpenFlights airports.dat dataset (the same data that powers airline route maps worldwide). The haversine formula accounts for the curvature of the Earth, so the result is the true shortest distance along the surface — not a straight line on a flat map. We express it in statute miles (793 mi), kilometers (1,276 km, conversion factor 1.60934), and nautical miles (689 nm, factor 0.868976). The estimated flight time assumes a ground speed of 500 mph including the climb and descent phases, which is a reasonable average for subsonic commercial jets — actual flight time varies with winds, routing, and the specific aircraft type. The compass direction (north, bearing 351°) is the initial great-circle bearing from origin to destination; the path curves slightly because of the Earth's curvature on long sectors.
TRWhen distance matters most for REU → BHX
At 793 miles this sits in the narrowbody sweet spot, which usually means frequent nonstops and competitive fares on this medium-haul regional route.

Reus to Birmingham — quick answers
How far is Reus from Birmingham by plane?
The nonstop flight distance from REU (Reus) to BHX (Birmingham) is 793 miles (1,276 km, 689 nautical miles), measured as a great-circle line across Earth's surface using the airports' published coordinates. This haversine calculation accounts for Earth's curvature and matches airline navigation charts; actual flown distance is slightly longer due to airways and winds.
How long does it take to fly from Reus to Birmingham?
Estimated nonstop flight time is 1 hour and 35 minutes, assuming a typical jet cruise speed of about 500 mph including climb and descent. Gate-to-gate time is usually 20–35 minutes longer for taxi and air-traffic routing, and connecting itineraries add 1–4 hours depending on layover length and airport connection efficiency.
Is REU to BHX a short, medium, or long-haul flight?
This is a medium-haul regional flight (793 miles). Medium-haul flights are usually nonstop on narrowbody aircraft like the A320 or 737 with standard economy service. Flight categories follow industry distance bands that predict aircraft type and service level, so you can anticipate cabin options and connection likelihood.
