Nonstop flight route between Bogotá, Colombia and Phuket, Thailand:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between El Dorado International Airport (BOG), Bogotá, Colombia and Phuket International Airport (HKT), Phuket, Thailand would travel a Great Circle distance of 11,410 miles (or 18,363 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 large distance between El Dorado International Airport and Phuket International Airport, the route shown on this map most likely appears curved because of this reason.

Try it at home! Get a globe and tightly lay a string between El Dorado International Airport and Phuket International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• Because of El Dorado International Airport's high elevation of 8,361 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at BOG. Combined with a high temperature, this could make BOG a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• In 1973, the airport accomplished a milestone by serving nearly three million passengers and processing nearly 5 million units of luggage.
• The closest airport to El Dorado International Airport (BOG) is Santiago Vila Airport (GIR), which is located 54 miles (86 kilometers) WSW of BOG.

This is because the air density is higher closer to sea level than it would otherwise be at higher elevations.
