Is this correctly expressed, anything wrong?
It takes 19 hours to drive there and only 45 minutes to fly there according to him. The ration of fly time to drive time is a bit steep. [too much] I think it's a 2 hour flight not 45 minutes. 6
Thank you

You mean "ratio", not "ration". In a ratio, the first-named thing is divided by the second-named thing. That means that if you increase fly time, the ratio of fly time to drive time increases.
