About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Monte Caseros Airport (MCS), Monte Caseros, Corrientes, Argentina and Leribe Airport (LRB), Leribe, Lesotho would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,012 miles (or 8,066 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 Monte Caseros Airport and Leribe 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 Monte Caseros Airport and Leribe Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Monte Caseros Airport (MCS):
- The closest airport to Monte Caseros Airport (MCS) is Curuzú Cuatiá Airport (UZU), which is located 40 miles (65 kilometers) NNW of MCS.
- Monte Caseros Airport (MCS) has 2 runways.
- The furthest airport from Monte Caseros Airport (MCS) is Zhoushan Putuoshan Airport (HSN), which is nearly antipodal to Monte Caseros Airport (meaning Monte Caseros Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Zhoushan Putuoshan Airport), and is located 12,413 miles (19,977 kilometers) away in Zhoushan, Zhejiang, China.
- Because of Monte Caseros Airport's relatively low elevation of 174 feet, planes can take off or land at Monte Caseros 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 closest airport to Leribe Airport (LRB) is Moshoeshoe I International Airport (MSU), which is located 52 miles (83 kilometers) SW of LRB.
- Leribe Airport (LRB) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Leribe Airport's high elevation of 5,350 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at LRB. Combined with a high temperature, this could make LRB a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The furthest airport from Leribe Airport (LRB) is Hana Airport (HNM), which is located 11,824 miles (19,030 kilometers) away in Hana, Hawaii, United States.
