FR202 distance and great-circle path
FR202 covers 470 km, or 292 miles. That makes it a short-haul flight, a single-aisle hop where turnaround time matters more than range. Of the 255 routes we track, it ranks 245 by distance.
The plane leaves Dublin heading east. On the map above, the line looks curved. That is normal. The shortest path over a round planet never looks straight on a flat screen. Our guide explains how the DUB–STN route appears on a tracker map.
Why FR202 block time differs from cruise time
The schedule allows 1.3 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 352 km/h. A Boeing 737-800 cruises faster than that. The gap is taxi time, climbing, descending and holding.
Flying east, this route usually picks up tailwinds high up. The flight back west normally takes longer, even though the distance is identical. See what really moves flight times.
