Holiday distance hours.

misgrace

I normally do a lot of homework planning our 2 week holiday, and have a few places in mind.
Is there anything I can google to find out the travelling hours on the plane without actually going into the travel sites to find out.

It would make my life simple if there were some way I can search that will tell me for example, 'Gambia' = 6 hours flying time, as we want somewhere longhaul thats not loads of hours on the plane.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.:D

A few websites do these "inspirational" sections now...you give them your specs and they suggest places. I think Expedia does one?
ie...< 6hours flight - sunshine - beaches - December = Gambia, Canaries, Egypt etc..

I'd just print a map off from maps.google.com and then mark on it a line showing a flight time that you know, ie London-Tenerife and then you can mark on other destinations and then consider them in comparison to LON-TCI.

Just go here: http://travel.aol.co.uk/flight-duration/article/20060720054209990001 It lists destinations in 1 hr bands up to 12 hours and then 12+.
