How long is the flight from ZRH to LGW?

Great-circle distance is 754 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 83–95 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does ZRH–LGW fly?

2 carriers operate this route, around 27 flights a week between them. Compare carrier days and times in the airline list above.

What does the route health score measure?

A blend of departure-side delay at ZRH and arrival-side delay at LGW, 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.
