Nonstop flight route between Cobán, Alta Verapaz, Guatemala and New York City, New York, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Cobán Airport (CBV), Cobán, Alta Verapaz, Guatemala and LaGuardia Airport (LGA), New York City, New York, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,010 miles (or 3,235 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 Cobán Airport and LaGuardia Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Cobán Airport (CBV):

• The furthest airport from Cobán Airport (CBV) is Cocos (Keeling) Island Airport (CCK), which is located 11,901 miles (19,153 kilometers) away in Cocos Islands, Australia.
• In addition to being known as "Cobán Airport", another name for CBV is "Aerodomo de Cobán".
• Cobán Airport (CBV) currently has only 1 runway.
• Because of Cobán Airport's high elevation of 4,339 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at CBV. Combined with a high temperature, this could make CBV a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• The closest airport to Cobán Airport (CBV) is Quiché Airport (AQB), which is located 59 miles (95 kilometers) WSW of CBV.

Facts about LaGuardia Airport (LGA):

• During the Floyd Bennett experiment La Guardia and American executives began an alternative plan to build a new airport in Queens, where it could take advantage of the new Queens–Midtown Tunnel to Manhattan.
• The furthest airport from LaGuardia Airport (LGA) is Margaret River Airport (MGV), which is located 11,754 miles (18,917 kilometers) away in Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia.

• LaGuardia opened with four runways at 45-degree angles to each other, the longest being 6,000 ft.
• Because of LaGuardia Airport's relatively low elevation of 21 feet, planes can take off or land at LaGuardia 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.
• LaGuardia Airport (LGA) has 2 runways.
• Newark Airport began renovations, but could not keep up with the new Queens airport, which TIME called "the most pretentious land and seaplane base in the world."

• In late 2006, construction began to replace the air traffic control tower built in 1962 with a more modern one.
• American Airlines accepted La Guardia's offer to start a pilot program of scheduled flights to Floyd Bennett, although the program failed after several months because of Newark's better proximity to Manhattan.
• Delta will invest $100 million to renovate terminals C and D in LaGuardia, where it will operate a total of 32 gates.
