Dunno, but one approach is to use the common estimators for frequent
flyer miles, given two airport codes.  Have been posted here, but would
appreciate if someone reposted.  Then figure on almost two hours per
thousand miles.  A bit less flying eastward with the jetstream, and a
bit more flying westward (or when flying indirect routes around
restricted zones or just circling busy airports).

Download a few timetable/schedule programmes. If you try the
Star Alliance World Mileage Calculator, you can map and get
actual flight times (in both directions) for all of the
airports covered by their network.

There are other airports covered by One World Alliance

- you can also use AA or Cathay for those.

Check who flies to the destinations you are interested in
and download their schedules.
