How long is the flight to Afghanistan from the USA?
Flight time from the US to Afghanistan will vary significantly depending on several factors. First, the part of the US you leave from will have the largest impact, but the number of stopovers and where you land in Afghanistan will also play a role. For instance, a flight from Houston, Texas with a single stopover in Istanbul will take 23h 20m. A flight from San Francisco with a single stop in Istanbul will take 24h. A flight from New York City to Afghanistan with a stopover in Dubai will take 21h 55m. The most popular airports to fly out of to reach Afghanistan from the US include JFK International in New York City, as well as Los Angeles International in California. For international travelers, chances are good that you’ll land at Khwaja Rawash Airport in Kabul, as this is the main international airport.

Note that flights with two stopovers may take 32h or more. Some of the more common stopover points on this route include Istanbul, London, and New Delhi. However, the routes vary drastically due to the sheer size of the United States.
