Fast flights tonight US to Europe
For instance, this US Airways flight from Philly to Amsterdam in a 752 is apparently racing across the pond at 608 knots and an estimated flight time of 6:17 (according to what it says currently). Apologies if this is too mundane. (flightaware.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]

A couple of years ago, on SIA12 from Narita to Los Angeles - the flight planned time was 7:58. In speaking to the captain - he indicated that he had never seen a flight planned time of less than 8 hours on that particular trip. Average W/C was P155. Pretty impressive considering that is an "average" wind component. The planned flight time back to Narita about a week oe so later - 11:09. Ughh!!!
Its top speed was actually 610 knots.
Did ATL-LHR this past August. 7:25 to LHR. 9:35 to ATL. Ready to get off at ATL when I got back to the states.
Yup - did that last week - took forever to come home...
I remember doing almost 700 MPH in a 767 over the water one night--it still wasn't fast enough!
