Distance is the great circle between the two airports; block time adds taxi allowances and a climb-and- descent penalty to airborne time at the cruise speed of the aircraft class that usually flies this sector. These are modelled figures for planning, not a timetable — a published schedule is the authority on what any particular flight does.
