The party flies a Piaggio P-180 Avanti from Santa Mira, California, USA (a fictional town likely in the greater Los Angeles area) to the island of Aristera. Aristera is the ancient name of the island of Spetsopoula, of the coast of mainland Greece.
The flight takes 17 hours. Athens, Greece (near Spetsopoula), is 6,893.77 mi (11,094.44 km) from Los Angeles. The plane's maximum speed is 927.4 km/h (576.3 mph; 500.8 kn), fast enough to get to Greece in the given time. However, it's maximum range is only 2,800 km (1,740 mi, 1,510 nmi)), enough to get to Kansas, USA, but only about half the distance to Hawaii, let alone Greece.
