How long does it take to fly from Newcastle to London Heathrow? Not just the time in the air, but the actual “block time” – the schedule that is published by airlines such as British Airways. As a reminder, this is the time between the start of pushback at the departure airport and the moment the plane reaches the arrival gate and the handbrake goes on.
Bizarrely, on a day such as Monday when five BA departures are scheduled on the route, five different durations are used for the journey from the Tyne to the Thames – from 1h10m to 1h30m at five-minute intervals.
