About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Orlando International Airport (MCO), Orlando, Florida, United States and San Sebastián Airport (EAS), San Sebastián, Spain would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,401 miles (or 7,082 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 Orlando International Airport and San Sebastián 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 Orlando International Airport and San Sebastián Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Orlando International Airport handled 34,877,899 passengers last year.
- Eastern Air Lines used Orlando as a hub during the 1970s and early 1980s, and became "the official airline of Walt Disney World." Following Eastern's demise, Delta Air Lines assumed this role, although it later pulled much of its large aircraft operations from Orlando, and focused its service there on regional jet flights, specifically with Atlantic Southeast Airlines, Comair and Chautauqua Airlines – all part of the Delta Connection system.
- In the early 1960s, when jet airline flights came to Orlando, the installation became a joint civil-military facility.
- In 1978, construction of the current Landside Terminal and Airsides 1 and 3 began, opening in 1981.
