About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Long Beach Airport (LGB), Long Beach, California, United States and Andahuaylas Airport (ANS), Andahuaylas, Peru would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,411 miles (or 7,099 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 Long Beach Airport and Andahuaylas Airport, 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 Long Beach Airport and Andahuaylas Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Because of Andahuaylas Airport's high elevation of 11,300 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at ANS. Combined with a high temperature, this could make ANS a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
