How long does a letter take from Sydney to Auckland?
Flight time: 2h 40m · Distance: 1,340 miles · With Premium: 1h 20m
On PreviewPal, a letter from Sydney, Australia to Auckland, New Zealand flies the real 1,340-mile great-circle distance at 500 mph, so it lands in 2h 40m. Your penpal in Auckland can peek at every word the moment you seal it. They just can't reply until it lands.
The trip home takes the same 2h 40m: Auckland to Sydney is the same distance both ways.
