Any pilot will tell you that. They all have to write down flight time
in a log book, and it sure as hell doesn't include time retrieving
luggage. Or sitting on your butt in the terminal. I started writing
down flight time in 1964.

So.....you don't consider the time spent at the airport as relevant? I
do, because it IS time, there is no time warp, and it is time taken
out of my day. Period.

There is a perfectly good phrase known as " trip time " which you
think is called " flying time ". It is not. You are plain ignorant.
Period.

Too much "trip time" these days in flying commercial. Seems to be far
fewer direct, 0-stop cross countries. Chicago seems to be the fastest
for one-stoppers to the left coast. Minneapolis is just plain awful
because of the tremendous distances between the different sections/gates
at the terminal. Detroit, surprisingly, is pretty good, too, and has
some unusual restaurants.
