Nonstop flight route between Bolzano, Italy and Bangkok, Thailand:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Bolzano Airport (BZO), Bolzano, Italy and Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), Bangkok, Thailand would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,509 miles (or 8,865 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 Bolzano Airport and Suvarnabhumi 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 Bolzano Airport and Suvarnabhumi Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• The furthest airport from Bolzano Airport (BZO) is Chatham Islands (CHT), which is nearly antipodal to Bolzano Airport (meaning Bolzano Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Chatham Islands), and is located 12,016 miles (19,337 kilometers) away in Waitangi, Chatham Islands, New Zealand.

• Because of Suvarnabhumi Airport's relatively low elevation of 5 feet, planes can take off or land at Suvarnabhumi Airport at a lower air speed than at airports located at a higher elevation. This is because the air density is higher closer to sea level than it would otherwise be at higher elevations.
• The Engineering Institute of Thailand conducted investigations at the airport in late 2006 after signs of distress were spotted at several locations in Suvarnabhumi's taxiways and taxilanes.
• The airport is located in Racha Thewa in Bang Phli, Samut Prakan, about 25 kilometres east of downtown Bangkok.
