Flying non-stop from Cleveland to Cornwall (Canada)
Now let's assume you have a private jet and you can fly in thefastest possible straight line between Cleveland, Ohio andCornwall, Ontario. Because of the curvature of the Earth, theshortest distance is actually the "great circle" distance, or"as the crow flies" which is calculated using an iterativeVincenty formula.
Flight distance: 427 miles or 687 km
Flight time: 1 hour, 21 minutes
The straight line flight distance is 86 miles less than driving on roads, which means the driving distance is roughly 1.2x of the flight distance.
Your plane flies much faster than a car, so the flight time is about 1/6th of the time it would take to drive.
This is a relatively short flight in a private plane, but you might be planning to book a commercial flight. In that case, your travel time would really need toinclude how many minutes to get to your local airport, waitfor security, board and taxi on the runway, land at the otherairport, and get to your destination. Scroll down to see a more realistic calculation that takesinto account all these factors to get a more accurate estimateof your actual flight time.

Cleveland to Cornwall (Canada) airports and flights
In the quick calculation above, we assumed you had a privateplane and just wanted to know the time in the air from city to city.But for most of us, we're going to be flying on a commercial airline(whether it's first class or coach). So that means we really needto account for all the extra travel time getting to the airport,waiting for our flight, and making it to the destination.
To give you a better estimate of real-life travel, we'veput together a flight itinerary with actual airports. Eventuallyyou'll be able to customize this plan, choosing your own airportsand flights. But for now, here's an example we've selected togive you an idea of how traveling might work between airports.
Departure airport: Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE)
Arrival airport: Massena International Airport (MSS)
With the airports selected, we can estimate the travel time to andfrom the airport, based on how far the airport is from downtown.
Getting to the airport: 31 minutes
Getting to your destination: 24 minutes
Now finally, let's look at an actual flight from CLE connecting through IAD and arriving at OGS flying on United Airlines. We can figureout how long it would take to fly including take-off and landing, time totaxi on the runways, and an average layover time of about 2 hours.
Initial flight time: 1 hour, 14 minutes
Connecting airport: Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD)
Connection flight time: 1 hour, 19 minutes
