Nonstop flight route between La Romana, Dominican Republic and Presque Isle, Maine, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between La Romana International Airport (LRM), La Romana, Dominican Republic and Northern Maine Regional Airport at Presque Isle (PQI), Presque Isle, Maine, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,952 miles (or 3,141 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 La Romana International Airport and Northern Maine Regional Airport at Presque Isle, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
