What BRS to LPA looks like
The BRS to LPA sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Bristol BRS to Las Palmas LPA is a medium haul sector of 2,815 km by great circle, flown nonstop about once a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 2,815 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 4h 06m.
Bristol BRS is a large airport in the network held here, 116 scheduled destinations and 130.9 departures a day. Las Palmas LPA has 119 destinations and 213 departures a day.
Bristol 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. 43 of them join BRS to LPA.
| Connecting at | BRS to hub, flights a day | Hub to LPA, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bilbao BIO | 0.57 | 2 | 2,941 | 5h 45m |
| Tenerife TFS | 2.71 | 11.71 | 2,959 | 5h 48m |
| Madeira FNC | 0.71 | 1.14 | 2,917 | 5h 50m |
| Porto OPO | 1.43 | 0.86 | 2,817 | 5h 51m |
| Lisbon LIS | 1.86 | 0.71 | 2,826 | 5h 52m |
| Marrakech RAK | 0.59 | 0.57 | 3,060 | 5h 55m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at BRS in the afternoon actually flies on.
43 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Bilbao BIO, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 4 times a week.
Through BIO the routing covers 2,941 km against the 2,815 km nonstop track and takes about 5h 45m 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 39m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Tenerife TFS at 5h 48m and Madeira FNC at 5h 50m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Bristol, Birmingham BHX is 136 km away by great circle and carries 139 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
If nothing suitable leaves Las Palmas, Tenerife TFN is 112 km away by great circle and carries 33 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.

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 BRS 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.
