The Flight of Astro-Cat and Space Bug: A (possible) Miraculous Ladybug Flight Speed Calc.

So I'm just gonna quick sum up a couple of things to help explain the calculation I'm about to do:

In the Miraculous NY special, Adrien Agreste is about to leave Paris to go to NY, much to his chagrin as he promised Ladybug he will stay to protect the city. Long story short, he decides to not fuss about it and go to New York, as since he has an Akuma alert app on his phone, he reckons he will be able to use his Astro-Cat form to fly back to Paris before Ladybug knows he even left.

Now, of course, this statement is a bit iffy for a speed feat, as Adrien's statement could be seen as hyperbole. However, since this particular feat would result in an upgrade to Ladybug and Cat Noir's speed stats (at least in their space forms), I felt like it would be beneficial to at least post it on this website for the sake of completionism.

So without further ado, here's the calculation I have done:
(Also I'm doing these calls in Kilometers, so sorry for US people who don't understand the metric system)

According to multiple flight websites, the shortest distance path between New York and Paris (at least from airport to airport) is roughly 5834 km.

Now as to figure out how much time it would take for Adrien to travel, this is a bit difficult to determine because this timing is done under the assumption that he'll make it there before anyone can think he's a no show, including Ladybug, but due to both the inconsistent timing in the show and the appearance of the akumas relative to the main characters, the timing of heroes appearing can range from taking some time to reach an Akuma, especially if it appears some distance away, to appearing literal minutes or even less after a person is akumatized. In some cases, the show implies that the heroes could appear in less than even a minute, but I don't think that would work for this calculation because there's no logical way for Chat Noir to travel back that fast, considering the distance required to travel between countires compared to the distance Chat would have to hypothetically cover in order to travel through Paris. Still, I'll lowball and highball the calcs with timings that I think are fair.

Lowball: 15 minutes (The heroes arrive after traveling some distance, but the Akuma has already done some damage)

Med-Ball: 10 minutes (The heroes run, hide and transform, but the heroes have to travel some distance to reach the Akuma before they can cause trouble)

Highball: 5 Minutes (The heroes run, hide, transform, and go fight the Akuma immediately)

So with that in mind:
Since Speed=Distance/Time

Lowball: 5834km/15mins = 23336 km/h (Hypersonic +)

Med-ball: 5834km/10 mins= 35004 km/h (High Hypersonic)

Highball: 5834km/5mins=70008 km/h (High Hypersonic +)

Now keep in mind, this would likely only apply to both Astro-Cat's travel speed (and Ladybug's since she scales to Cat Noir) and because of the nature of that sentence, it could likely be dismissed as hyperbole, but I did figure It would at least be fair to put the calculation here as statements from the show have been calculated before, and this calculation would result in some speed upgrades for the two.
