Nonstop flight route between Denver, Colorado, United States and New York City, New York, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Denver International Airport (DEN), Denver, Colorado, United States and LaGuardia Airport (LGA), New York City, New York, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,615 miles (or 2,600 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 Denver International Airport and LaGuardia Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Denver International Airport (DEN):

• Between February and August 2008, construction of an on-site, two-megawattsolar energy system took place.
• Denver International Airport (DEN) has 6 runways.
• Both during construction and after its opening Denver International Airport has set aside a portion of its construction and operation budgets for art.
• 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.
• Denver International Airport handled 52,556,359 passengers last year.
• DIA has Wi-Fi access throughout the airport.
• The furthest airport from Denver International Airport (DEN) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 10,877 miles (17,505 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.
• Denver has traditionally been home to one of the busier airports in the nation because of its location.
• It was the fifth-busiest airport in the world by aircraft movements with over 635,000 movements in 2010.

• LaGuardia Airport (LGA) has 2 runways.
• 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.
• The airport was originally named Glenn H.
