Time dilation is your subjective acceleration veering into more “time” than “space”.
If you somehow were in a flat universe with parallel velocity to an object several light-years away, and somehow managed to accelerate towards it at 1 g, you’d impact at the time on your watch that pure Newtonian physics says you would.
The subjective clocks of the place you’re hitting would measure your travel time as a lot longer, however. But it wouldnt be infinite at all – a relatively small multiple of “several” years, in fact.
(Before the relativistic impact recused both you and them to an energetic plasma, that is.)

Good answer. First person

at most Δ length / c → 6.4e6 m / (3e8 m/s)

This assumes time remains constant, though, right? But isn’t time affected by the black hole?

Maybe from the POV of the person falling.
