On average, Pluto and Mars are ~4 billion miles apart. Azrael 1M covered that distance in a nanosecond(one billionth of a second.) Iirc, that also works out to trillionS of times c... But I don't care to redo the math.
*And that was after he flew from Earth to Pluto in the space of a single panel... But since an exact timeframe wasn't given in that instance, I'll stick with the 'lesser' feat I mentioned above.

^ Except we can *see* him physically flying -- even leaves a trail behind him. Yes, there is a sort of metaphysical component at work(ie. he thinks of a destination, and the wings take him there) -- but he still *flies* to get there.

Becoming incorporeal when he enters the past does not change anything. The wings were very specifically designed to take Azrael to *any* point in time/space. All he has to do is think of a destination, and they transport him there. Why? Because Sister Dumas wanted her 'angels' to move at the speed of thought: (please log in to view the image)
Anyway, I think his movement is very clearly flight. As I said: we can *see* him physically flying to his destinations, and even leaving a trail behind him: (please log in to view the image)

*That would definitely not be the case if he were simply teleporting from A-to-B... Nor would he need 'wings' to do so. After all, teleportation devices were readily available in the 853rd century. The Justice Legion Alpha, for example, had Boom Tubes built into their costumes, ffs.

It is still a manner of flight-based travel speed. Azrael is most definitely *flying*; not teleporting... Which is my point.
It takes a feat of *that* magnitude just to rival the evacuation showing. That tells you how f*cking incredible Wally's feat really is -- even by comic book standards.

I don't know if this is an apt description or not, but it almost seems like a long distance catapult for your soul and your body follows after like its attached by rope.
It'd be hard to calculate Death Sentry's feat with any kind of precision, imo. All we know for sure is that he flew Thor "many light years away", whilst flying "many times the speed of light", in like 2 pages. /shrug
I guess its not quantifiable. But still impressive. Going at least faster than Thor top end flight speed, given that Thor is having a hard time coping with his speed, and the affects that its bringing to time/space.
I'll do it and if my calcs are correct, this does beat Flash's city evac feat (at least in terms of sheer speed; Az didn't have to do anything other than straightforward speeding, ie, nothing like safe people-carrying).
Flash's feat calculates to a max speed of 19 trillion cee (calcs done in a prior post).
Based on the numbers provided above, Azrael's speed was over 21 teracee:
Light takes 1 sec to cover 186,000 miles.
Light takes 21,505 seconds (almost 6 hours) to cover 4,000,000,000 miles. To cover 4 gigamiles in 1 second = 21,505 cee.
To cover that in 1/1,000,000,000 of a second = 21.5 kilocee X 1 billion = >21 trillion cee.
Given how relatively close 19 trillion and 21 trillion are, what if Azrael had to duplicate Flash's exact feat? Carrying thousands upon thousands of people to safety? Would that slow him down at all?
Just sayin'.
