Journey guidance

Nonstop status not independently verified

The displayed value is a direct-air planning baseline. If your itinerary requires a connection, total journey time will be longer because layovers are not included in the model.

Important: airport-to-airport air time and total door-to-door journey time are different measures. This page does not add check-in, security, transfer or layover time.
Real-world variation

What can make the real flight longer?

Air traffic routing, winds, runway direction, taxi time, holding and airline scheduling can move block time away from the model. Connecting itineraries can be much longer because the baseline does not include layovers.

Calculation basis

A reproducible planning model

The model uses a mean Earth radius of 6,371.0088 km, an 805 km/h cruise assumption and 30 minutes for take-off, climb, descent and landing.
