This tool calculates the distance between two points on earth based on the "haversine formula". Since the earth is an ellipsoid rather than a perfect sphere, this formula is extended. The flight distance varies from the actual ground distance depending on the flight altitude.

The calculated flight time is an estimate as it cannot account for all variables such as weather conditions, wind patterns, and exact flight routes. Our tool aims to provide the closest possible approximation to real conditions by distinguishing between short-distance and long-distance flights.

Start and destination airports are matched to a worldwide timezone map. Please note that this map does not account for daylight-saving times.
