Updated

The distance from London (LHR) to Toronto (YYZ) is about 5,707 km. United Kingdom and Canada are treated differently by the rules, so the two directions can give different answers.

Both directions, four carrier cases

Each row is a flight that lands 4 hours late with no extraordinary circumstances. The carriers are examples of how the airline changes the result. They are not a statement about which airlines fly this route.
