About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Kemmerer Municipal Airport (EMM), Kemmerer, Wyoming, United States and LaGuardia Airport (LGA), New York City, New York, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,891 miles (or 3,043 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 Kemmerer Municipal Airport and LaGuardia Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Kemmerer Municipal Airport (EMM):
- The airport covers 400 acres at an elevation of 7,285 feet.
- Because of Kemmerer Municipal Airport's high elevation of 7,285 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at EMM. Combined with a high temperature, this could make EMM a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The furthest airport from Kemmerer Municipal Airport (EMM) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 10,871 miles (17,495 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.

- During the Floyd Bennett experiment La Guardia and American executives began an alternative plan to build a new airport in Queens, where it could take advantage of the new Queens–Midtown Tunnel to Manhattan.
- 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.
