About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Lim贸n International Airport (LIO), Puerto Lim贸n, Costa Rica and Bajhang Airport (BJH), Bajhang, Nepal would travel a Great Circle distance of 9,512 miles (or 15,309 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 Lim贸n International Airport and Bajhang 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 Lim贸n International Airport and Bajhang Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- In addition to being known as "Lim贸n International Airport", another name for LIO is "Aeropuerto Internacional de Lim贸n".
- The furthest airport from Lim贸n International Airport (LIO) is Cocos (Keeling) Island Airport (CCK), which is nearly antipodal to Lim贸n International Airport (meaning Lim贸n International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Cocos (Keeling) Island Airport), and is located 12,282 miles (19,766 kilometers) away in Cocos Islands, Australia.
