General Edward Lawrence Logan International to Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International BOS → FLL
1,077 nautical miles (1,239 statute miles) southwest on a straight line, true course 208°, about 223° magnetic at the departure end (variation 15W). At 120 knots that is 10 h 53 min at the quickest height in today's winds (4,500 ft, a 21-knot headwind), arriving about 8:31 am EDT (12:31 UTC). Right now BOS is marginal VFR, wind from the east (080°) at 8 knots; FLL is VFR, wind from the southeast (140°) at 4 knots. For planning, not a briefing: the legal preflight briefing comes from Flight Service (1-800-WX-BRIEF) or the FAA's own tools. Airlines fly this pair: 6,489 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

The westbound cruising heights for this course (VFR: even thousands plus 500 ft; above 18,000 ft the forecast levels), with the wind averaged along the line from the 9 forecast points nearest it (BOS, BDL, JFK, ACY, ORF, ILM, CHS, MLB, MIA). A plus sign is a headwind, a minus sign a tailwind.

Based on data from the 11th at 18:00 UTC; valid on the 12th at 00:00 UTC for use 20:00 to 03:00 UTC; temperatures above 24,000 ft are below zero. Heights are above sea level; a height is left out when the forecast has no wind for it over most of the line (the ground is higher). Ground speed is the airspeed less the headwind; the time en route is for the straight line and ignores climb, descent and routing around weather.
