Atlanta to Orlando by road
The fastest driving route is 437 miles (704 km) long and takes about 7 hr 55 min without stops or traffic. Almost all of it is on I-75: 367 mi of 437 mi.
It goes through 2 states: Georgia (241 mi) and Florida (196 mi). That’s an average of 55 mph (89 km/h). AAA recommends a break every two hours or 100 miles: with 3 stops of 20 minutes, the trip takes about 8 hr 55 min. The time is OSRM’s estimate with OpenStreetMap data: no traffic and speeds somewhat below the limits, so real trips can differ.
Straight-line distance and bearing
In a straight line, the shortest distance over the Earth’s surface, Atlanta and Orlando are 401 miles (645 km) apart. That’s the geodesic on the WGS84 ellipsoid, the distance “as the crow flies”.
The road is 9% longer: for every 100 miles in a straight line you drive 109. The route runs almost straight. Of the 40 US pairs in this series, it ranks 31st for detour (the average is 14%).
From Atlanta, Orlando lies to the southeast (bearing 153°), and from Orlando, Atlanta lies to the northwest.
Halfway between Atlanta and Orlando
Halfway along the straight line, 200 miles (322 km) from each city, is the point 31.1530° N, 82.8424° W. It falls near Cogdell (Georgia), 7.2 mi away.
By road, the halfway point is 219 miles (352 km) from each city, near Bemiss (Georgia, pop. 9,201), 8.5 mi away. The two midpoints are 35.2 mi apart: if you want to meet halfway, the one on the road is the useful one.
Time zone and flight
Atlanta and Orlando share the same time all year: both are on Eastern Time.
A direct flight would take about 1 hr 20 min. That’s an estimate: 30 minutes for takeoff, climb, descent and landing, plus the 645 km straight line at 800 km/h (about 497 mph), a typical airliner cruising speed. Real schedules depend on wind, routing and airports, and not every pair has a direct flight.
The two cities
Atlanta sits at 1,050 ft (320 m) and Orlando at 103 ft (31 m), 947 ft (289 m) lower.
Atlanta has 529,110 people and Orlando 333,888 people (Census Bureau estimate for 2025).
