Halfway between Paris and Bangkok: where to meet

Pick two cities to find places where you can meet halfway, with rough flight times from each side, so neither of you does all the traveling.

Your city
Their city

Paris and Bangkok are 9,450 km (5,850 miles) apart. A direct flight takes about 14 h.

The exact halfway point is 260 km (165 miles) from the nearest city, ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฟ Navoiy: most likely at sea or somewhere remote.

Places to meet in the middle

Cities with big airports and plenty to do, where the longer of your two trips is as short as possible.

Flight times are rough door-to-door estimates for a direct flight, including time at the airport. Real routes may need a connection, so check fares before you plan.

How it works

  1. Pick your city and theirs. Smaller towns work too: the nearest big airport does the rest.
  2. We look at well-connected cities around the world and find the ones where the longer of your two trips is shortest.
  3. Each suggestion shows how long each of you would travel, and how far the clocks move for each of you.
  4. Copy the address and send it to your partner, so you're both looking at the same options.

Tips for meeting halfway

Neutral ground takes the pressure off

Somewhere new to both of you means neither person is the host. You explore together, which gives you plenty to talk about.

Split the cost, not just the distance

Flights from one side can cost far more than from the other. Agree up front how you'll share travel and the place you stay.

Check visas for both of you

A city that's easy for one passport can need a visa for the other. Check the entry rules for each of you before you book anything.

Book something you can cancel

For a first meeting, flexible tickets and a refundable stay give you room if plans change.
