Cleveland-Hopkins International to Harry Reid International CLE → LAS
1,582 nautical miles (1,820 statute miles) west on a straight line, true course 269°, about 277° magnetic at the departure end (variation 8W). At 120 knots that is 15 h 40 min at the quickest height in today's winds (12,500 ft, a 19-knot headwind), arriving about 2:52 pm PDT (21:52 UTC). Right now CLE is marginal VFR, wind from the west-northwest (290°) at 7 knots; LAS is VFR, wind from the south (190°) at 10 knots, gusting to 18. 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: 1,968 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

Green, blue, red and purple airport dots are the flying conditions reported there now (VFR, marginal VFR, IFR, low IFR); grey means no report. Red areas are SIGMETs, orange areas AIRMETs, hatched red areas temporary flight restrictions. Map tiles: OpenFreeMap, data © OpenStreetMap contributors.

- AIRMET TANGO 1W: moderate turbulence below 18,000 ft (due to mountain wave) up to 15,000 ft. Near the route, at the destination end.
A SIGMET warns of weather hazardous to all aircraft; an AIRMET of weather that matters to small aircraft and to flying without instruments. "From 60 to 180 nm out" is measured along the route from CLE.

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 14 forecast points nearest it (CLE, FWA, JOT, BRL, DSM, OMA, GRI, GLD, PUB, ALS, GJT, FMN, BCE, LAS). A plus sign is a headwind, a minus sign a tailwind.

Based on data from the 12th at 00:00 UTC; valid on the 12th at 06:00 UTC for use 02:00 to 09:00 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.
