About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Cambridge International Airport (CBG), Cambridge, England, United Kingdom and Apolo Airport (APB), Apolo, La Paz, Bolivia would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,161 miles (or 9,914 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 Cambridge International Airport and Apolo 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 Cambridge International Airport and Apolo Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Cambridge International Airport (CBG):
- Because of Cambridge International Airport's relatively low elevation of 47 feet, planes can take off or land at Cambridge International 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.
- In 2000, a proposal was created to relocate the airport to a new site away from the city, which would have freed up 500 acres of land for the building of several thousand new homes.
- Opened in 1938, when it replaced the old airfield at Fen Ditton, the airport is owned and operated by Marshall Aerospace, a Cambridge-based company with many years' history servicing civilian and military contracts.
- Cambridge International Airport (CBG) has 3 runways.
- The furthest airport from Cambridge International Airport (CBG) is Chatham Islands (CHT), which is located 11,836 miles (19,049 kilometers) away in Waitangi, Chatham Islands, New Zealand.
- The closest airport to Cambridge International Airport (CBG) is Duxford Aerodrome (QFO), which is located only 8 miles (13 kilometers) SSW of CBG.
Facts about Apolo Airport (APB):
- Because of Apolo Airport's high elevation of 4,642 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at APB. Combined with a high temperature, this could make APB a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The closest airport to Apolo Airport (APB) is Rurrenabaque Airport (RBQ), which is located 64 miles (103 kilometers) ENE of APB.
- In addition to being known as "Apolo Airport", another name for APB is "Apolo Airport (Apolo)".
- Apolo Airport (APB) currently has only 1 runway.
- The furthest airport from Apolo Airport (APB) is Phu Cat Airport (UIH), which is nearly antipodal to Apolo Airport (meaning Apolo Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Phu Cat Airport), and is located 12,254 miles (19,720 kilometers) away in Qui Nhơn, Binh Dinh, Vietnam.
