Depends how fast the plane is travelling, how often it needs to stop for fuel or other reasons, and how long those stops take.
If the average commercial widebody jetliner were travelling 550 m.p.h. with no tail winds or headwinds, then to travel 1,000,000 miles would take 1818.18 hours.

Well in a plane traveling 550 mph it will take you somewhere near 1820 hours or about 75 days. If you are traveling at the speed of light it will take you about 5 seconds to travel 1,000,000 miles. If you are walking at about 3 miles an hour it will take your 38 years to walk a 1,000,000 miles. It would take you about 11 1/2 days to count to 1,000,000 if you count once every second. I hope this helps. A million is a pretty big number.

a million. the two the practice and the tunnel are a million mile long, so in different words, how long does it take the practice to commute 2 miles? distance travelled = speed * time taken t = d / s = 2 / 30 = 0.06666... hours = 4 minutes The practice exits the tunnel at 4.04pm 2. practice takes a minute and a a million/2 to commute 3 miles. a million.5 min = 3/one hundred twenty hours s = d / t = 3 / (3/one hundred twenty) = one hundred twenty mph

1,000,000 divided by an average of 300 mph = 3,333.3...
Now add wait time in a security line 10 hours
4 more if you fit a terrorist profile
15 if you don't but still get pulled
22 if your an old lady with shoes
3 hours to barf the food they feed you on the plane
Then add 5 hours waiting for your baggage when you get off
Then the time you complain because they lost your baggage 7 hours.
It would be quicker to walk...

At 400 mph it would take a little over 104 days. This doesn't take into account landing for fuel.

About 84 days, assuming airspeed of 500 MPH, aerial refueling and that the engines would last that long.

It would also depend on whether the plane is flying with or against the jet stream.
