Flight time is the time the plane is off the ground, just the obvious
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.

I'm "ignorant"? First of all, you can quit being as ass and show me
where I ever differentiated between "trip time" and "flight time". It
will take five hours out of your life. Period. If you don't think the
time wasted is relevant, you certainly shouldn't be calling others
ignorant.

The subject is and has been flight time. You can have any other kind
of time you want. By all means count the time spend packing your bags
the night before. If you want to abuse the language and ignore the
standard meanings of words, go for it. We are all laughing at you.
