How it works

For each of 3,200+ airports, the tool estimates the flight time from yours: 30 minutes for taxiing, take-off and landing, then the great-circle distance at 830 km/h. Anything inside your limit makes the list. In each band of flight times the busiest airports come first, so you see the cities you'd actually fly to before the small regional fields.

It shows where a flight of that length could go, not who flies it. Check for a direct service before you plan a weekend around one.

Questions

How far can you fly in 3 hours?

About 2,075 km (1,289 miles) by this estimate, once you allow 30 minutes for taxiing, the climb and landing. From London that covers Western and Central Europe, as far as Lisbon, Rome, Warsaw or Tunis.

How far can you fly in 2 hours?

About 1,245 km (774 miles): from London, as far as Berlin, Barcelona or Copenhagen; from New York, as far as Chicago, Atlanta or Toronto.

How far can you fly in 5 hours?

About 3,735 km (2,321 miles): from New York, as far as Denver or Phoenix; from London, as far as the Canary Islands, Istanbul, Moscow or Tel Aviv.

Does it show direct flights I can book?

No: it shows where a flight of that length could take you, not which airlines fly there. Smaller airports may only have flights from a few places, so check for a direct service before you plan around one.

How is the flight time estimated?

The same way as our flight time calculator: 30 minutes on the ground and in the climb and descent, then the great-circle distance at 830 km/h. Real schedules run 10 to 15 percent either side, mostly because of the wind.
