Would anyone mind sharing their favorite routes that are under 2 hours long?

There are a couple of hundred or so here.  Click on search and pick a maximum duration.

FS Destinations

I like KPHX-Phoenix Sky Harbor to KLAS-McCarran Las Vegas, in a prop of course.  About an hour and scenery includes Boulder Dam.

Fozzer's is nice but I usually do it the other way because I like the approach to KSFO.

I don't think I have a 'favorite' route. I enjoy flying my little bug smashers in the Northwest, and the Alaskan area wiht real world weather. Every flight is a unique experience... ;)

EGKK-LOWW

Using UK2000's Gatwick, and FlyTampa's Vienna, in the iFDG A319, or FiftyNorth 737-400, with FSPax.

AES at LOWW, doesn't get much more realistic than that, unless you are using the PMDG737  ;)

I couldn't imagine a PMDG flight without the FMC, it's an amazing piece of kit  :)

Infact I may go and Fire up the queen for KSEA-EDDF right now...

Hmm.

Any route with some spectacular views is OK by me. I love islandhopping in the Caribbean, flying from cabin to cabin in Alaska or cruising around Washington state landing at the various Lagos Georender airports that I have. As long as there are mountains to cross or some nice islands. Flat surfaces get boring same as flying at 35000 feet at 0.8 Mach for a long time.

Crash ;) (flying low and slow)

My local airport, Edinburgh down to London is a good shunt. Takes around 1 hour.

My local Airport, RDU in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina [ICAO KRDU] to Atlanta International in Atlanta, Georgia. [ICAO KATL] Takes, oh, an hour and a half in a 747. Best done in night flying. A good time for me, and I have virtually performed this trip many a time!

A 747 is just traveling; A Piper Cub, now THAT'S flying!

  Hawaii East-West is a good one, a bit easy though. I usually like to do Birchwood (PABV) or Merrill (PAMR) to Pitka (PAGA) via Rainy Pass (stay in the actual pass just to keep it fun, just follow the lowest route on your map past the airstrip), or perhaps get the Glacier Bay scenery and fly around anywhere in Southeast AK. Theres plenty to see there.
  If You're into big jets, though, you could try Stevens Anchorage Intl. (PANC) to Nome (PAOM), Fairbanks (PAFA), or King Salmon (PAKN).
  Also, though it does take a full two days to complete, you can circumnavigate Alaska from Juneau using only VOR and NDBs (I never pulled up the GPS through the entire flight) in less than two hour hops using piston aircraft (under 180 knots) the whole way. For someone who doesn't know the proper and realistic stops, though, it would probably take a bit of research. It is definitely the most fun trip I have ever done, though. (its a shame that the Great Kobuk Sand Dunes aren't modeled in the game. Definitely one of the least known wonders of the world, also very fun to play in :))


P.S. A tip for if you choose a route that reaches above the Arctic Circle. Do it at night. Perhaps there will be some Aurora Borealis ;)!

I like doing KJAX-KLGA (Jacksonville,FL-New York LaGuardia) It takes about 2 hours in a Boeing depending on your speed. :)

I am just a train fan who happens to like flying and attempting to get the better of the mods especially those with 20/20 vision ;D ;D
