Block time for New York → Milan is about 8.27 hours non-stop on the site's cruise model. The slider's steps are anchored on typical hub dwell times, which is why the totals sit at 10.8 h and 15.8 h rather than pure multiples.
At 6,464 km the sector sits in the everyday long-haul band: a non-stop is the benchmark, and connections only make sense when the fare saving clears a couple of hundred dollars. Factor the 6-hour shift into recovery plans: eastbound arrivals at Milan generally bite harder than westbound ones.
