Nonstop flight route between Wendover, Utah, United States and Bangkok, Thailand:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Wendover Airport (ENV), Wendover, Utah, United States and Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), Bangkok, Thailand would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,068 miles (or 12,984 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 Wendover Airport and Suvarnabhumi 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 Wendover Airport and Suvarnabhumi Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Arrival Airport Information:

Facts about Wendover Airport (ENV):

• Because of Wendover Airport's high elevation of 4,237 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at ENV. Combined with a high temperature, this could make ENV a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• It is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a primary commercial service airport.
• Still-extant facilities include three paved runways, numerous ramps, taxiways, dispersal pads, all of the original hangars, and 75 other World War II–era buildings.

Facts about Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK):

• The Engineering Institute of Thailand conducted investigations at the airport in late 2006 after signs of distress were spotted at several locations in Suvarnabhumi's taxiways and taxilanes.
• Because of Suvarnabhumi Airport's relatively low elevation of 5 feet, planes can take off or land at Suvarnabhumi 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.
