Nonstop service on EgyptAir takes roughly 12 hours outbound, while the return flight is about 10 hours 10 minutes — the westward leg is noticeably longer due to prevailing winds. EgyptAir also offers nonstop flights to Newark on select days, with a typical duration around 11 hours 50 minutes.", "methodology": "Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method.
