Nonstop flight route between Mildenhall, Suffolk, England, United Kingdom and Tarakan, East Kalimantan, Indonesia:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between RAF Mildenhall (MHZ), Mildenhall, Suffolk, England, United Kingdom and Juwata Airport (TRK), Tarakan, East Kalimantan, Indonesia would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,144 miles (or 11,497 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 RAF Mildenhall and Juwata 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 RAF Mildenhall and Juwata Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!
