Philadelphia International to Long Beach (Daugherty Field) PHL → LGB

2,073 nautical miles (2,386 statute miles) west on a straight line, true course 274°, about 286° magnetic at the departure end (variation 12W). At 120 knots that is 20 h 31 min at the quickest height in today's winds (4,500 ft, a 19-knot headwind), arriving about 5:08 pm PDT (00:08 UTC). Right now PHL is IFR, wind from the northeast (040°) at 7 knots; LGB is VFR, wind from the west-northwest (300°) at 3 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: 3 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.
