Nonstop on Air Canada, the typical westbound duration is 17 hours 5 minutes, while the return eastbound leg is shorter at 15 hours, a difference driven by prevailing winds.

The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time, given both per carrier and across all carriers on the route; where a schedule does not publish an elapsed time, it is derived from the scheduled departure and arrival times converted to UTC. Outbound and return times are computed by the same method, so the difference between them is directly comparable and reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in derivation.
