Flight-time calculation methodology

Estimated airborne time

The site uses airport coordinates and the haversine great-circle distance. Its duration model adds a short overhead and applies different illustrative average speeds based on the route length. These numbers are planning estimates, not measured flight schedules.

What the estimate does not cover

Nonstop service availability, published airline schedules, layovers, terminal time, en-route restrictions, weather, actual routings, taxi time and delays are not verified by this model.

Indexing policy

Route URLs may be available for comparison even when marked noindex. Only routes passing the editorial popularity gate can enter manually generated bounded sitemaps. A score is not search demand and does not prove route quality. New routes should be reviewed before broader Bing submission.
