Nonstop flight route between College Station, Texas, United States and Lawas, Sarawak, Malaysia:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Easterwood Airport (CLL), College Station, Texas, United States and Lawas Airport (LWY), Lawas, Sarawak, Malaysia would travel a Great Circle distance of 9,213 miles (or 14,826 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 Easterwood Airport and Lawas 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 Easterwood Airport and Lawas Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!
