Continental Airline Tickets

Maps with flights and how long they take?

I am just interested, and lazy, so I would like someone to supply me with one of those types of maps that airlines have with lines of all their flights. I would also like a key beside the map with how long they take. I am interested in airlines such as Continental, Qatar Airways, Lufthansa, and whatever else you can get with out too much time spent. thanks :)

  1. Go to a library and see if you can get an airline manual. The times a flight takes to its destination depends on weather conditions and therefore varies. Otherwise go into your local airport and look up flights to and from places and you can see how long the flight takes. See if there is a site called "Flight Planning".
  2. http://www.travelmath.com/flight-time/ .. if you type in the departure and arrival airport in the search bar on this website (make sure it says "flight time" on the drop down menu, and then a map will show you the route a flight on that course takes, and the time taken.
  3. The best to estimate flight times with airlines is done this way... Buy yourself a world globe, like a classroom type - Measure a distance of 500 miles (or 800 kilometers) on that globe - Get a long and thin string, and make a little knot along the string every 500 mile - Make some 15 little knots along the string, carefully measuring their separation - Each and every knot space, is 1 hour of flight time in an airline jet - So you can measure quite accurately any flight times - I am a retired airline pilot - In my office I have a large world globe - With such a string and little knots - For some flights that I did not do all the time, I could get an approximate flight time - Always worked good - And it also gives you an idea where the airplane real route will be - A string between Seattle and London passes over Baffin Island - Then over Greenland and near Iceland - And there are about 10 knots (10 hours) between the two - Measuring distances with a world atlas works very badly - The problem is that they often use a "Mercator projection" - see Wikipedia -

  5. Way too many variables, but airlines websites will have their route maps, so check those out. I don't know if they estimate flight times.
