Nonstop flight route between Manston, Kent, England, United Kingdom and Mawlamyaing (Maulmyine), Myanmar (Burma):

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Manston Airport (MSE), Manston, Kent, England, United Kingdom and Mawlamyaing Airport (MNU), Mawlamyaing (Maulmyine), Myanmar (Burma) would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,602 miles (or 9,015 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 Manston Airport and Mawlamyaing 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 Manston Airport and Mawlamyaing Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!
