Cyril E King Airport to San Antonio International STT → SAT
1,949 nautical miles (2,242 statute miles) northwest on a straight line, true course 297°, about 310° magnetic at the departure end (variation 13W). At 120 knots that is 15 h 59 min at the quickest height in today's winds (4,500 ft, a 2-knot tailwind), arriving about 1:53 am CDT (06:53 UTC), after sunset at the destination. Right now STT is VFR, wind from the southeast (130°) at 10 knots; SAT is marginal VFR, wind from the east-southeast (110°) at 4 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.

Winds aloft along the route, and the time en route the forecast for use 14:00–21:00 UTC · at 120 knots true airspeed
The westbound cruising heights for this course (VFR: even thousands plus 500 ft; above 18,000 ft the forecast levels), with the wind averaged along the line from the 9 forecast points nearest it (MIA, EYW, PIE, MOB, MSY, LCH, HOU, PSX, SAT). A plus sign is a headwind, a minus sign a tailwind.

Based on data from the 12th at 12:00 UTC; valid on the 12th at 18:00 UTC for use 14:00 to 21:00 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.
