Into account all these factors to get a more accurate estimate Scroll down to see a more realistic calculation that takes Include how many minutes to get to your local airport, waitįor security, board and taxi on the runway, land at the otherĪirport, and get to your destination.
In that case, your travel time would really need to This is a medium length flight, so unless you have a nice private jet, you might be booking a commercial flight. Your plane flies much faster than a car, so the flight time is about 1/7th of the time it would take to drive. The straight line flight distance is 237 miles less than driving on roads, which means the driving distance is roughly 1.2x of the flight distance. For a long distance, this appears as a curve on the map, and this is often the route that commercial airlines will take so it's a good estimate of the frequent flyer miles you'll accumulate as well. "as the crow flies" which is calculated using an iterative Shortest distance is actually the "great circle" distance, or Because of the curvature of the Earth, the Now let's assume you have a private jet and you can fly in theįastest possible straight line between Houston, Texas andĪtlantic City, New Jersey.
