About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Kryvyi Rih (Lozovatka) International Airport (KWG), Kryvyi Rih (Krivoy Rog), Ukraine and Rochester Airport (RCS), Rochester, Kent, England, United Kingdom would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,467 miles (or 2,361 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 Kryvyi Rih (Lozovatka) International Airport and Rochester Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
