Eagle County Regional to San Antonio International EGE → SAT

736 nautical miles (847 statute miles) southeast on a straight line, true course 143°, about 134° magnetic at the departure end (variation 9E). At 120 knots that is 5 h 25 min at the quickest height in today's winds (39,000 ft, a 16-knot tailwind), arriving about 5:42 am CDT (10:42 UTC), after sunset at the destination. Right now EGE is VFR, wind from the west (280°) at 10 knots, gusting to 15; SAT is VFR, wind from the southeast (130°) at 10 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: 2 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

Winds aloft along the route, and the time en route the forecast for use 02:00–09:00 UTC · at 120 knots true airspeed

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 8 forecast points nearest it (GJT, PUB, ALS, TCC, AMA, LBB, ABI, SAT). 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.
