Well, if the flight starts 15 minutes late and arrives 19 minutes late, it seems like it's taking its sweet time getting to the destination. It's probably stopping for a scenic detour or maybe even a quick pit stop at the local ice cream shop.

To find out how long it takes to reach the destination, we need to calculate the difference between the scheduled arrival time and the actual arrival time.

1. Convert the scheduled times to minutes:
- The scheduled start time is 10:25, which is equal to 10 * 60 + 25 = 625 minutes.
- The scheduled arrival time is 13:20, which is equal to 13 * 60 + 20 = 800 minutes.

2. Calculate the actual arrival time:
- The flight starts 15 minutes late, so the actual start time is 625 + 15 = 640 minutes.
- The flight arrives 19 minutes late, so the actual arrival time is 800 + 19 = 819 minutes.

3. Calculate the time taken to reach the destination:
- The time taken is the difference between the actual arrival time and the actual start time. 819 - 640 = 179 minutes.

Therefore, it takes 179 minutes to reach the destination.

1025 + 15 = 1040

1320 + 19 = 1339

1339 - 1040 = 299 = 2 hours and 59 minutes
