What LPA to BSL looks like
The LPA to BSL sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Las Palmas LPA to Basel BSL is a medium haul sector of 2,950 km by great circle, flown nonstop 5 times a week.
At the cruise speed this site models for 2,950 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 4h 16m.
Las Palmas LPA is a large airport in the network held here, 119 scheduled destinations and 213 departures a day. Basel BSL has 122 destinations and 125.1 departures a day.
Basel is one hour ahead of Las Palmas all year.
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.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on LPA to BSL from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| LPA to BSL | 0.71 | 5 | easyJet, Enter Air |
| BSL to LPA | 0.29 | 2 | easyJet |
Two carriers hold the sector, easyJet and Enter Air, which gives a missed departure somewhere to go without leaving the nonstop.
The two directions are not level: LPA to BSL runs 5 times a week, the return runs 2 times a week, and a round trip has to be planned around the thinner of the two.
Between them the two directions put about 7 departures a week on LPA to BSL, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 4h 16m block time on LPA to BSL. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.

| Collection and the run to LPA | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At LPA before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| LPA to BSL in the air, estimated | 256 min | 8h 46m |

| Delivery run in Basel | 45 min | 11h 01m |
| Door to door | 661 min | 11h 01m |
On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for LPA to BSL is 11h 01m.

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. 49 of them join LPA to BSL.
| Connecting at | LPA to hub, flights a day | Hub to BSL, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Marrakech RAK | 0.57 | 0.86 | 3,031 | 5h 53m |
| Malaga AGP | 3.57 | 1.43 | 2,974 | 6h 03m |
| Casablanca CMN | 0.57 | 0.57 | 2,985 | 6h 03m |
| Valencia VLC | 1.86 | 0.71 | 2,987 | 6h 04m |
| Lisbon LIS | 0.71 | 1.57 | 3,001 | 6h 05m |
| Alicante ALC | 1 | 1.14 | 3,019 | 6h 06m |
49 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Marrakech RAK, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 4 times a week.
Through RAK the routing covers 3,031 km against the 2,950 km nonstop track and takes about 5h 53m 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 37m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Malaga AGP at 6h 03m and Casablanca CMN at 6h 03m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
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.
If nothing suitable leaves Basel, Zurich ZRH is 78 km away by great circle and carries 223 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
Restricted hours at either end
Widely documented operating restrictions, checked 2026-09-07. Exemptions and seasonal variations exist, so confirm with the carrier before relying on any of them.
Basel BSL is shut to scheduled movements between 23:00 and 06:00 local, which matters here because an aircraft leaving Las Palmas late arrives into a closed airport rather than a quiet one.
Basel BSL, night restrictions: Scheduled movements are restricted between 23:00 and 06:00 local under the airport's noise rules.
Read back down the sector, a departure from Las Palmas later than about 17:44 local arrives at BSL after it has closed for the night, on the 4h 16m block time above.

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 LPA to BSL 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.
