About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Courchevel Airport (CVF), Courchevel, France and John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), New York City, New York, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,901 miles (or 6,278 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 Courchevel Airport and John F. Kennedy 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 Courchevel Airport and John F. Kennedy International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- In addition to being known as "Courchevel Airport", another name for CVF is "Aérodrome de Courchevel".
- Because of Courchevel Airport's high elevation of 6,588 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at CVF. Combined with a high temperature, this could make CVF a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- Courchevel Airport (CVF) currently has only 1 runway.
- The closest airport to Courchevel Airport (CVF) is Méribel Airport (MFX), which is located only 3 miles (5 kilometers) WNW of CVF.

- Because of John F. Kennedy International Airport's relatively low elevation of 13 feet, planes can take off or land at John F. Kennedy 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.
- JFK was designed for aircraft up to 300,000-pound gross weight and had to be modified in the late 1960s to accommodate Boeing 747s.
