Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
It actually depends on various conditions. I assume you are talking about typical passenger jets like Airbus A320 to Boeing 777–300ER, operated by major airlines like Delta or Lufthansa.
Jakarta (CGK) to Surabaya (SUB), Indonesia is roughly one hour and ten minutes, Sydney (SYD) to Melbourne (MEL), Australia is one hour and thirty five minutes. CGK-SUB is roughly 694 km airport to airport, SYD-MEL is 713 km.
Washington D.C. Dulles Airport (IAD) to New York City’s JFK (JFK) takes about 1 hour. This is 400 km airport-to-airport distance. Ronald Reagan Airport (DCA) is even closer, yet takes similar amount of time. They are almost a quarter of the distance shorter, yet takes almost as long. The same goes for London Heathrow Airport (LHR) to Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport (CDG), it takes 1 hour for this 350 km flight distance.
To explain this weird variances, you have to understand these factors:
