Nonstop flight route between Romulus (near Detroit), Michigan, United States and Zacatecas, Zacatecas, Mexico:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW), Romulus (near Detroit), Michigan, United States and General Leobardo C. Ruiz International Airport (ZCL), Zacatecas, Zacatecas, Mexico would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,737 miles (or 2,796 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 Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport and General Leobardo C. Ruiz International Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
