is that 4485 miles there and back? As it's definitely not the one way distance

 

[rollo]

Flight time is most considerably what determines a flight as long haul. Hurghada is 4,485 miles from BHX and takes between 5-5 half hours which is considered medium haul. Anything over 6 plus hours is considered long haul.

4,485 miles in 5.5hrs that's quick at 800mph. Kilometres or afterburners

Go with six hrs plus as definition of long haul.

About 3,500 was abit of there wasn’t it. Don’t always trust google.

But the point still stands it’s considered Medium haul. As they’re calculated by their flight times.

 

[Karl C]

Lol...try 2500 miles

As they’re calculated by their flight times

The TUI HRG to BHX flight on 13th Jan had a flight time of 5hr56min.

A BA flight from JFK to LHR on the same day took 5hr55min, so is New York to London medium haul?

Wind speeds, and whether they are a head or tail wind, have a huge impact on flight times. The fastest recorded transatlantic flight (besides Concorde) was a BA 747 from New York to London which flew it in 4hr57min. With strong headwinds it can take as long to fly from Turkey to the UK (especially Scotland).

 

[CM.]

A BA flight from JFK to LHR on the same day took 5hr55min, so is New York to London medium haul?

Yes as it’s still under 6hrs.

 

[Coathanger16]

Yes as it’s still under 6hrs.

Ok, and the outbound is 7 hours, so it's long haul on the way out, but medium haul on the way back?

 

[CM.]

You got it.

 

[Coathanger16]

Just no

 

[CM.]

Just no

As I said short haul 0-3hrs, Medium 3-6hrs, Long haul- 6 plus hrs

If the flight you are on about was less than 6hrs on the way back then it was medium haul and the flight there was 6 plus then it’s long haul. Depends on wind speed/direction head/tail winds as you’ve mentioned. That’s just how it is.

Back to Tui BHX.
