How long is the flight from BCN to LAX?

Great-circle distance is 9,674 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 713–859 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does BCN–LAX fly?

What does the route health score measure?

A blend of departure-side delay at BCN and arrival-side delay at LAX, computed from rolling delay windows (refreshed every 40 minutes) with a daily-rollup fallback. Current MVFR, IFR, or LIFR endpoint weather caps the score when flight rules can limit throughput. Higher is healthier: 100 means operations are clean at both ends.
