About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Lampang Airport (LPT), Lampang, Thailand and Rand Airport (QRA), Johannesburg, South Africa would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,688 miles (or 9,153 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 Lampang Airport and Rand 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 Lampang Airport and Rand Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Lampang Airport (LPT):
- In addition to being known as "Lampang Airport", another name for LPT is "ท่าอากาศยานลำปาง".
- Because of Lampang Airport's relatively low elevation of 811 feet, planes can take off or land at Lampang Airport at a lower air speed than at airports located at a higher elevation. This is because the air density is higher closer to sea level than it would otherwise be at higher elevations.
- The furthest airport from Lampang Airport (LPT) is Capitán FAP Renán Elías Olivera International Airport (PIO), which is nearly antipodal to Lampang Airport (meaning Lampang Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Capitán FAP Renán Elías Olivera International Airport), and is located 12,014 miles (19,335 kilometers) away in Pisco, Peru.
- The closest airport to Lampang Airport (LPT) is Phrae Airport (PRH), which is located 44 miles (71 kilometers) ESE of LPT.
- Lampang Airport (LPT) currently has only 1 runway.
Facts about Rand Airport (QRA):
- In October 2000, the airport was privatized.
- Because of Rand Airport's high elevation of 5,482 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at QRA. Combined with a high temperature, this could make QRA a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- Rand Airport is notorious for its hot and high conditions and relatively short runways.
- Rand Airport (QRA) has 2 runways.
- de Havilland DH 104 Dove and Lockheed L18-08 Lodestar on view at the South African Airways Museum Society at Rand Airport.
