Seattle-Tacoma International to Eagle County Regional SEA → EGE
815 nautical miles (938 statute miles) southeast on a straight line, true course 119°, about 103° magnetic at the departure end (variation 16E). At 120 knots that is 5 h 57 min at the quickest height in today's winds (39,000 ft, a 17-knot tailwind), arriving about 12:20 am MDT (06:20 UTC), after sunset at the destination. Right now SEA is VFR, wind from the north-northwest (340°) at 10 knots; EGE is VFR, wind from the west (280°) 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: 74 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

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 7 forecast points nearest it (SEA, YKM, LWS, BOI, PIH, RKS, GJT). A plus sign is a headwind, a minus sign a tailwind.

Based on data from the 11th at 18:00 UTC; valid on the 12th at 00:00 UTC for use 20:00 to 03:00 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.
