Good question, but I guess you can get a very good idea. For an A to A sightseeing flight, it's a bit easier as if you're slow one way, you'll be faster the other way, so a 1 hour flight will nearly always be that 1 hour.
For an A-B, I guess you just have to guess, and err on the side of caution. i.e, from where I am to Southend is approximately 25 minutes, so if I charge for 30 or 35 minutes, I'm pretty much covered
