About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between La Florida Airport (LSC), La Serena, Chile and Sharq Al-Owainat Airport (GSQ), Sharq Al-Owainat, Egypt would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,547 miles (or 12,146 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 La Florida Airport and Sharq Al-Owainat 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 La Florida Airport and Sharq Al-Owainat Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!
