About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Triangle North Executive Airport (Franklin County Airport) (LFN), Louisburg, North Carolina, United States and San Diego International Airport (SAN), San Diego, California, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,213 miles (or 3,561 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 Triangle North Executive Airport (Franklin County Airport) and San Diego International Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
