Take off time

Time on your tickets is pushback time from the gate. It can vary slightly the way it is measured but it generalyy means everyone on, doors closed, and ready to go. Many people believe it means the time you should be thundering down the runway bound for the skies, hence you often get "well we were 5/10 minutes late taking off" when it isn't actually the case.

Push back time. 10 or 15 minutes is built in to the schedule for taxy to the runway. 10 minutes allowed after landing to get to the gate.
