Without a doubt, but it makes me incredibly sceptical of flight times now.

That's what I'm not understanding, what are you skeptical about? At least from this data point, they got the time right!

I suppose "flight time" should technically be defined as "time in the air", but realistically, "time it will take you to get from airport A to airport B" is a much more useful metric to passengers.
