Field notes

The planner takes airports and local departure time, with an option to set flight duration rather than accept its estimate. Its route catalogue links to 1,000 routes, and the page says the underlying airport data comes from OurAirports while the route list is derived from OpenFlights. Results are presented as estimates because real flights, winds, and delays can shift timing.
