I couldn’t really tell who doesn’t believe it takes that long, you, or your brother’s neighbors.

Birmingham Al to Houston TX – 667 miles, two hours, average of 333 MPH.

On a prop, that’s about right.

So, there’s your first two hours.

Hanging out in Houston for 60 minutes makes it three hours

Houston TX to Las Vegas – 1,455 miles, three and a half hours at 415 MPH average, on a jet, with climb out, maybe a holding pattern, landing, taxi to the gate, seems about right.

There’s your six and a half hours.

As far as multiple views with no response, maybe they didn’t want to do the math for you. I must really be bored.
