About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Ohkay Owingeh Airport (ESO), Española, New Mexico, United States and Chennault International Airport (CWF), Lake Charles, Louisiana, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 847 miles (or 1,363 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 Ohkay Owingeh Airport and Chennault International Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

- The furthest airport from Ohkay Owingeh Airport (ESO) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 11,142 miles (17,931 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.
- Because of Ohkay Owingeh Airport's high elevation of 5,790 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at ESO. Combined with a high temperature, this could make ESO a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
