What BHX to LPA looks like
The BHX to LPA sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Birmingham BHX to Las Palmas LPA is a medium haul sector of 2,951 km by great circle, flown nonstop about twice a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 2,951 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 4h 16m.
Birmingham BHX is a large airport in the network held here, 139 scheduled destinations and 187.8 departures a day. Las Palmas LPA has 119 destinations and 213 departures a day.
Birmingham and Las Palmas keep the same clock all year, so the arrival time is the departure time plus the block and nothing else.
The pair sits inside Europe, a corridor where the site already publishes 14 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.

When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 46 of them join BHX to LPA.
| Connecting at | BHX to hub, flights a day | Hub to LPA, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tenerife TFS | 3.86 | 11.71 | 3,095 | 5h 58m |
| Porto OPO | 1.14 | 0.86 | 2,953 | 6h 02m |
| Lisbon LIS | 1 | 0.71 | 2,961 | 6h 02m |
| Marrakech RAK | 1.14 | 0.57 | 3,191 | 6h 05m |
| Belfast BFS | 4.14 | 0.57 | 3,446 | 6h 15m |
| Malaga AGP | 4.86 | 3.57 | 3,178 | 6h 18m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at BHX in the afternoon actually flies on.
46 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Tenerife TFS, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 3.9 times a day.
Through TFS the routing covers 3,095 km against the 2,951 km nonstop track and takes about 5h 58m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 42m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Porto OPO at 6h 02m and Lisbon LIS at 6h 02m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for BHX to LPA in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
