Nonstop flight route between Aguascalientes, Mexico and San Diego / El Cajon, California, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Jesús Terán Peredo International Airport (AGU), Aguascalientes, Mexico and Gillespie Field (SEE), San Diego / El Cajon, California, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,181 miles (or 1,901 kilometers).

A Great Circle is the shortest distance between 2 points on a sphere. Because most world maps are flat (but the Earth is round), the route of the shortest distance between 2 points on the Earth will often appear curved when viewed on a flat map, especially for long distances. If you were to simply draw a straight line on a flat map and measure a very long distance, it would likely be much further than if you were to lay a string between those two points on a globe. Because of the relatively short distance between Jesús Terán Peredo International Airport and Gillespie Field, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

• The furthest airport from Jesús Terán Peredo International Airport (AGU) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 11,502 miles (18,511 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.
• Because of Jesús Terán Peredo International Airport's high elevation of 6,112 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at AGU. Combined with a high temperature, this could make AGU a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• Jesús Terán Peredo International Airport (AGU) has 2 runways.
• The closest airport to Jesús Terán Peredo International Airport (AGU) is Francisco Primo de Verdad National Airport (LOM), which is located 39 miles (63 kilometers) SE of AGU.
