What affects flight duration
Airlines quote block times that include taxi, takeoff, climb and descent. Our estimate adds a standard 40-minute ground and climb allowance.
Cruising speed
Jet airliners cruise at roughly 460 mph, regional jets at 370 mph, turboprops at 230 mph and small pistons at 100 mph.
Headwinds & tailwinds
Prevailing winds change real flight time by 5–10%. Eastbound transatlantic flights are often shorter than westbound.
Block vs flight time
The "block time" airlines publish includes taxi out and in, usually 30–50 minutes extra on top of pure air time.
