Nonstop flight route between Denver, Colorado, United States and Laoag City, Ilocos Norte, Philippines:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Denver International Airport (DEN), Denver, Colorado, United States and Laoag International Airport (LAO), Laoag City, Ilocos Norte, Philippines would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,482 miles (or 12,042 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 Denver International Airport and Laoag 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 Denver International Airport and Laoag International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Denver International Airport (DEN):

• Denver International Airport, often referred to as DIA, is an airport in Denver, Colorado.
• It was the fifth-busiest airport in the world by aircraft movements with over 635,000 movements in 2010.
• Because of Denver International Airport's high elevation of 5,431 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at DEN. Combined with a high temperature, this could make DEN a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• DIA finally replaced Stapleton on February 28, 1995, 16 months behind schedule and at a cost of $4.8 billion, nearly $2 billion over budget.
• With the construction of DIA, Denver was determined to build an airport that could be easily expanded over the next 50 years to eliminate many of the problems that had plagued Stapleton International Airport.
• The system's $186 million original construction costs grew by $1 million per day during months of modifications and repairs.
