Nonstop flight route between Klamath Falls, Oregon, United States and Willow, Alaska, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Crater Lake- Klamath Regional Airport (LMT), Klamath Falls, Oregon, United States and Willow Airport (WOW), Willow, Alaska, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,785 miles (or 2,872 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 Crater Lake- Klamath Regional Airport and Willow Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
