How did we calculate the distance?

The place names are translated into coordinates to approximate the distance between Paris and Houston (latitude and longitude). Cities, states, and countries each have their own regional center. The Haversine formula is used to measure the radius.

In the quick calculation above, we assumed you had a private plane and just wanted to know the time in the air from city to city. But for most of us, we're going to be flying on a commercial airline (whether it's first class or coach). So that means we really need to account for all the extra travel time getting to the airport, waiting for our flight, and making it to the destination.

To give you a better estimate of real-life travel, we've put together a flight itinerary with actual airports. Eventually you'll be able to customize this plan, choosing your own airports and flights. But for now, here's an example we've selected to give you an idea of how traveling might work between airports.

Departure airport: George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH)

Arrival airport: Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport (CDG)

With the airports selected, we can estimate the travel time to and from the airport, based on how far the airport is from downtown.

Getting to the airport: 46 minutes

Getting to your destination: 42 minutes

Now finally, let's look at an actual flight from IAH to CDG on Air France and figure out how long it would take to fly including take-off and landing, and time to taxi on the runway.

Commercial flight time: 10 hours, 34 minutes

So now we can finally get an idea of the total travel time from Houston to Paris including time spent getting to/from the airports, an estimated wait time of 2 hours at the airport for TSA security lines and waiting at the gate, and the actual flight itself.

Total travel time: 14 hours
