Nonstop flight route between Kingman, Arizona, United States and Læsø, Denmark:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Kingman Airport (IGM), Kingman, Arizona, United States and Laesoe Airfield (BYR), Læsø, Denmark would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,288 miles (or 8,510 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 Kingman Airport and Laesoe Airfield, 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 Kingman Airport and Laesoe Airfield. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!
