Daytona Beach International to General Edward Lawrence Logan International DAB → BOS
929 nautical miles (1,069 statute miles) northeast on a straight line, true course 029°, about 034° magnetic at the departure end (variation 5W). At 120 knots that is 4 h 55 min at the quickest height in today's winds (39,000 ft, a 69-knot tailwind), arriving about 3:06 am EDT (07:06 UTC), after sunset at the destination. Right now DAB is VFR, wind from the southwest (220°) at 4 knots; BOS is IFR, wind from the east-northeast (070°) at 13 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: 470 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

The eastbound cruising heights for this course (VFR: odd 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 (JAX, SAV, CHS, ILM, ORF, ACY, JFK, BDL, BOS). 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.
