    I can't understand how they've listed their flight times. I've pasted an example of a flight I searched for. They're all like this. Look at the departure times, the arrival times and the total flight times. They're not even close to adding up. Can anyone shed some light on this?

    <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td>London <span>(LGW)</span>

    Just at a quick glance, i believe your problem is with times. It seems right to me. They list the times in the time it would be IN THAT CITY. so when you leave cincy it will be 4 40 there, and when you land in vegas it will be 5 3 9 there (7 39 in cincy).

    Solve your problem?

    didn't do the math but I would assume it's a time zone issue. ex. 5 hr flight from sf to nyc, leaves 10am (sf time) arrives 6pm nyc time. EDIT: asifhia2uh zein!

    Epic, epic fail.

    Clearly a time zone issue. OT to rescue once again.
