Question: How many minutes warning would we have before the radiation hit our atmosphere? Wouldn’t want to be on an airplane at that time.

It is my understanding that satilites pick up an x-ray brust first because Xrays travel at the speed of light (about 8 minutes from Sun to Earth) the ejection itself travels between 20km/s to 3200km/s.
That’s about 87 days on the slow end and 13 hours for one traveling at the max 3200km/s.
