John F Kennedy International to Mineta San Jose International JFK → SJC

2,227 nautical miles (2,563 statute miles) west on a straight line, true course 281°, about 294° magnetic at the departure end (variation 13W). At 120 knots that is 20 h 37 min at the quickest height in today's winds (4,500 ft, a 12-knot headwind), arriving about 4:13 pm PDT (23:13 UTC). Right now JFK is IFR, wind from the north-northeast (020°) at 10 knots, gusting to 16; SJC is VFR, wind from the north-northwest (340°) at 8 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: 13 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

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.
