How we calculate your time in the city

Transfer assumptions

  • Airport to city centre: 45 min
  • City to airport: 45 min

Exploration-time calculation

Return departure (Sat 19 Sept, 21:05) minus outbound arrival (Sat 19 Sept, 09:00) minus transfer times (45m + 45m + 90m)

= 9h 05m actual city exploration time
