Nonstop flight route between Havana, Cuba and Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between José Martí International Airport (HAV), Havana, Cuba and Ras Al Khaimah International Airport(Ra's al-Khaymah) (RKT), Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,073 miles (or 12,991 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 José Martí International Airport and Ras Al Khaimah International Airport(Ra's al-Khaymah), 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 José Martí International Airport and Ras Al Khaimah International Airport(Ra's al-Khaymah). You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!
