Flight times

[nuffsenuff]

Our flight from Heathrow to Nice says it's 2hr 10mins. Is that the full amount of flying time or do flight durations include taxiing/parking?

Ime you take off at the time specified, but the landing time doesn't always correspond with the time you actually get off the plane. It is literally the time you land. So you might go straight to the gate or you might taxi around the airport for a bit, get off the plane and on to a bus and drive around the airport for a bit more. It can go either way!

So the 2hr10mins probably means actual flying time of, say, 1hr 45?

Possibly, but they would count it as landing on time if you touched down on time, even if logistics meant that you didn't walk into the airport for another 20 mins...

Given flying times allow masses of leeway!

Many short haul flights I’ve been on have left at least 30 mins late but arrived on time if not earlier.

Also arrival time is when doors open, not when wheels touch down, so yes, travel time includes taxiing both ends

1h45 looks like a good guess!
