Nonstop flight route between Albenga, Italy and Luxembourg-Findel, Luxembourg:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Albenga Airport (ALL), Albenga, Italy and Luxembourg Airport (LUX), Luxembourg-Findel, Luxembourg would travel a Great Circle distance of 396 miles (or 637 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 Albenga Airport and Luxembourg Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
