In aviation, the flight length is defined as the time airborne during a flight.

A short-haul domestic flight is commonly categorized into being no longer than 500 mi (800 km) 1.5 hours in length, meaning that all domestic flights within a country such as the United Kingdom are short-haul. In addition to this criterion, the destination airport must be in the same country as the departure airport. Domestic flights can vary greatly in length due to some countries being larger than others.

A short-haul flight is defined by Thomas Cook Airlines as a flight under 3 hours in length.

A short-haul flight was defined by Cathay Pacific as flights between Hong Kong and Tokyo or Korea as well as between New York and Vancouver.

A short-haul flight is defined by the UK Treasury as a flight under 2000 miles in distance. In the United Kingdom, HM Treasury levy Air Passenger Duty on all flights, according to banding by distance.

A medium-haul flight is a flight between 3 and 6 hours. An example would be between the United Kingdom and Egypt, which is approximately 5.5 hours long.
