About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Lublin Airport (LUZ), Lublin, Poland and Lanzhou Zhongchuan Airport (LHW), Lanzhou, Gansu, China would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,944 miles (or 6,347 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 Lublin Airport and Lanzhou Zhongchuan 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 Lublin Airport and Lanzhou Zhongchuan Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Lublin Airport (LUZ):
- Lublin Airport handled 189,442 passengers last year.
- In addition to being known as "Lublin Airport", another name for LUZ is "Port Lotniczy Lublin".
- Because of Lublin Airport's relatively low elevation of 666 feet, planes can take off or land at Lublin 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.
- In 1949 the Polish government made a decision to build an aviation factory in Świdnik, located next to the airfield.
- The furthest airport from Lublin Airport (LUZ) is Chatham Islands (CHT), which is located 11,410 miles (18,363 kilometers) away in Waitangi, Chatham Islands, New Zealand.
- The construction of the Świdnik airfield began in 1935 and it was officially opened on June 4, 1939.
- Lublin Airport (LUZ) has 2 runways.
- The closest airport to Lublin Airport (LUZ) is Biała Podlaska Airport (BXP), which is located 56 miles (90 kilometers) NNE of LUZ.

Facts about Lanzhou Zhongchuan Airport (LHW):

- In addition to being known as "Lanzhou Zhongchuan Airport", other names for LHW include "兰州中川机场", "Lánzhōu Zhōngchuān Jīchǎng" and "ZGC".
- Because of Lanzhou Zhongchuan Airport's high elevation of 6,388 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at LHW. Combined with a high temperature, this could make LHW a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The furthest airport from Lanzhou Zhongchuan Airport (LHW) is Carriel Sur International Airport (CCP), which is nearly antipodal to Lanzhou Zhongchuan Airport (meaning Lanzhou Zhongchuan Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Carriel Sur International Airport), and is located 12,252 miles (19,718 kilometers) away in Concepción, Bío Bío Region, Chile.
