I’ve just looked on flight aware about todays manchester to cancun flight and it is saying that the flight duration took 8hours 42 minutes. Is this information correct? as you know its a flight thats scheduled to take usually over 10 hours. I know that winds and routes taken change all the time but as it is a west bound flight its really quite a quick flight.

It’s uncommon for Eastbound flights to arrival very early. I remember during last Summer our MYT SFB/BFS flights arrived into BFS over 1 Hour early. So it can be done. Just depends on winds i think.

FCA36 was filed for 10 hours 12 mins today. I wouldn’t take the times on FlightAware too accurately, they often aren’t. As they state – At least part of this flight occurs outside of FlightAware’s service area. Information on this page may be unreliable.

Quite possible. One day last week in work, all inbound transatlantic flights were running between 30-45 minutes ahead of schedule coming from various points in the US EWR, ATL and ORD.
