Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International to Trenton Mercer Airport FLL → TTN
894 nautical miles (1,028 statute miles) north on a straight line, true course 016°, about 022° magnetic at the departure end (variation 6W). At 120 knots that is 4 h 52 min at the quickest height in today's winds (34,000 ft, a 64-knot tailwind), arriving about 7:36 am EDT (11:36 UTC). 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: 117 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

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.
