2e day 2 may well be over by 3pm, if not all rounds go to time and people can do without extended breaks. But Assuming a 9am start and allowing 60 minutes + 20 minutes for overtime and setup for the next games, double elimination with 8 players (6 rounds max, right?) could run for 8 hours until the winner has been decided. If you win the title at 5pm, grab the trophy and leave immediately, you should be good with the flight. By taxi it should take around 30 minutes to get to the airport, iirc.
Should be 5 rounds beginning with 8 players.

double elimination with 8 players takes 6-7 rounds (depends only on who wins the first final game).

(the "best case" number of rounds has to be the same as in best-of-three, 2x that of a single elimination bracket. the worst case is significantly shorter - only 1 extra round. and the average time needed for the whole tournament is even better, because fewer games have the potential to delay each round.)
