how to use the "how long"?

Hello everyone!
In my homework there´s a question: How long do you have to travel to get to...? and in the text there´s only the distance information, nothing about time. Can this expression be used for distances as well?
Thank you!

Aline Alegria Marinelli this exemple: crow flies
However, you must use the entire expression, Aline: 'as the crow flies'.
