Apologies if already posted - I saw this news article the other day... no surprise there's some stormy weather on the way!

I saw this last week, 5h 12m is flipping quick! I wonder perimeters of measuring this flight, whether its take off to touchdown, or take off to stand? I've done JFK to LHW in 5h 25/30m many many times, particularly in Winter, but pilot often times flight period to stand ( i used to be crew in my 20's on Virgin).
On the other side, its taken 8+hours to EWR on a bad day !!
