An overnight trip on a ferry is an alternative to a five hour flight?
Five hours at six hundred MPH is three thousand miles. Your 20 MPH
ferry will take more than a week.
Casady
So do you think that as soon as you arrive at an airport you are
instantly transported at 600 mph to your destination and then
teleported to your hotel? You have to get to the airport with enough
time to check your baggage, then be at your gate a minimum of 45
minutes to an hour before your flight, get on the plane, plan on it
being overbooked so they have to take the time to try to get
passengers to take a later flight, taxi, take off, get delayed because
of sequencing into a large airport, land, taxi, get off at your gate,
get your luggage, then leave.
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.


Why didn't you state that it would take 5 hours out of your day to go on
a 1 1/2 hour flight if you take into account all the diddle around time
before and after the 1 1/2 hour flight. You said it was a 5 hour flight
and you were wrong wrong wrong. Admit it.
