Nonstop flight route between Denver, Colorado, United States and Taipa, Macau:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Denver International Airport (DEN), Denver, Colorado, United States and Macau International Airport (MFM), Taipa, Macau would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,494 miles (or 12,060 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 Macau 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 Macau 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 is the main hub for low-cost carrier Frontier Airlines and commuter carrier Great Lakes Airlines.
• The airport's computerized baggage system, which was supposed to reduce delays, shorten waiting times at luggage carousels, and cut airline labor costs, was an unmitigated failure.
• Denver International Airport (DEN) has 6 runways.
• The closest airport to Denver International Airport (DEN) is Centennial Airport (APA), which is located 22 miles (36 kilometers) SSW of DEN.
• During the blizzard of March 17–19, 2003, heavy snow tore a hole in the terminal's white fabric roof.

• 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.
• 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's Art Collection was recently honored by the publishers of USA TODAY, for being of the ten best airports for public art in the United States.
