Travel time from rome to nyc?

Question

if a plane leaves rome, italy, at 2:15pm, italy time, and arrives in the usa at 5:35pm, eastern standard time, how long is the flight?

Answer 1

Lol reminds me of hs math!  hahaha... it all depends on where it leaves from girl.  Funny thing, when a flight goes over seas from the US, it doesn't go in a straight line.  The reason for this is because if they did, you would run out of fuel.  Most international flights will start to make a east bound turn off the coast of canada.  This shortens the time over water.  They weigh in the speed of the earth's rotation as well.  It's totally odd.... I know whenever I would go to Germany for the week and it was leaving from NYC it would be about 8.5 hours.
