Nonstop flight route between New Orleans, Louisiana, United States and Paso Robles, California, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY), New Orleans, Louisiana, United States and Paso Robles Municipal AirportEstrella Army Airfield (PRB), Paso Robles, California, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,799 miles (or 2,895 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 relatively short distance between Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport and Paso Robles Municipal AirportEstrella Army Airfield, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
