Nonstop flight route between Doncaster, England, United Kingdom and Samos Island, Greece:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield (DSA), Doncaster, England, United Kingdom and Samos International Airport "Aristarchos of Samos" (SMI), Samos Island, Greece would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,716 miles (or 2,762 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 Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield and Samos International Airport "Aristarchos of Samos", the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
