San Francisco International to Bradley International SFO → BDL

2,275 nautical miles (2,618 statute miles) northeast on a straight line, true course 067°, about 053° magnetic at the departure end (variation 14E). At 120 knots that is 13 h 28 min at the quickest height in today's winds (39,000 ft, a 49-knot tailwind), arriving about 1:02 pm EDT (17:02 UTC). Right now SFO is VFR, wind from the southwest (220°) at 6 knots; BDL is IFR, wind from the north (360°) at 12 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: 2 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.
