Martha'S Vineyard Airport to Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International MVY → FLL

1,034 nautical miles (1,190 statute miles) southwest on a straight line, true course 210°, about 225° magnetic at the departure end (variation 15W). At 120 knots that is 8 h 29 min at the quickest height in today's winds (4,500 ft, a 2-knot tailwind), arriving about 6:29 pm EDT (22:29 UTC). Right now MVY is IFR, wind from the north (010°) at 14 knots, gusting to 26; FLL is VFR, wind from the north-northwest (340°) at 9 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: 1 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.
