About the Flight Time Calculator

Estimate the total travel time for a flight, including layovers and a safety buffer.

How to use the Flight Time Calculator

  1. Enter the Air Distance (km) and choose an Aircraft Preset.
  2. Enter the number and length of Layovers and choose a Buffer Factor.
  3. Press Project Flight Path.

Formula and method

Flight time = distance ÷ cruise speed, plus layovers and the buffer.

Worked example

8,000 km at 880 km/h takes about 9.1 hours before layovers and buffer.

Tips

  • Winds can shorten or lengthen a flight by an hour or more.
  • Add time for airport procedures.
