Nonstop flight route between Chisana, Alaska, United States and Augusta, Georgia, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Chisana Airport (CZN), Chisana, Alaska, United States and Daniel Field (DNL), Augusta, Georgia, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,245 miles (or 5,222 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 Chisana Airport and Daniel Field, 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 Chisana Airport and Daniel Field. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!
