Does anyone know a website where I can put in from A to B and it will tell me the duration of the flight from A to B? (such as type in Glasgow to Ivalo and it will tell me how long the flight should take)
Thanks in advance
Merry Christmas

Bizjets vary considerably in performance. Like Skymonster said the Cessna 500 cruises at around M0.5 at 28,000ft – 35,000ft whereas some of them cruise at M0.80 and can (theoretically) get up to 50,000ft. B747 can do M0.86 in the cruise. But that really has no bearing on a short hop.

Cheers for taking the time to reply back to me Skymoster
i read some where that some Business jets fly above airlines altitude and i just guessed it be much quicker

As i know Business jet are much faster then normal flights. Thanks
What makes you think that? Some of the larger biz jets cruise at a somewhat higher altitude (flight level) than airliners and are quicker in terms of time-to-climb. And there are a few fairly quick biz jets (Cessna 680 Citation X for example). But for the most part biz jets cruise at a broadly similar speeds to jet airliners, and in some cases (Cessna 500/500 Citation for example – sometimes known as the Slowtation) typically cruise more slowly than jet airliners. The only significant time savings a biz jet will give over an airliner are less pre-flight / checkin time, and maybe less taxi in / taxi out / holding time as a result of using less congested airports.
I appreciate this doesn’t answer your question specifically, but terms of LTN-IBZ a biz jet will offer a broadly similar flight time to an airliner (again with the caveat that airlines pad their block times to allow for delays into and out of busy airports) and in terms of LTN-NWI a lot depends on the routing – via airways not sure, but a quick hop in the open FIR at fairly low level (its only 89 miles direct between LTN and NWI) shouldn’t take that much more than 20 minutes airborne time.
