travel time from rome to nyc?

[Bella]

if a plane leaves rome, italy, at 2:15pm, italy time, and arrives in the usa at 5:35pm, eastern standard time, how long is the flight?

Lol reminds me of hs math! hahaha... it all depends on where it leaves from girl. Funny thing, when a flight goes over seas from the US, it doesn't go in a straight line. The reason for this is because if they did, you would run out of fuel. Most international flights will start to make a east bound turn off the coast of canada. This shortens the time over water. They weigh in the speed of the earth's rotation as well. It's totally odd.... I know whenever I would go to Germany for the week and it was leaving from NYC it would be about 8.5 hours.
