Nonstop flight route between Megève, France and Bahawalpur, Pakistan:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Megève Aerodrome (MVV), Megève, France and Bahawalpur Airport (BHV), Bahawalpur, Pakistan would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,633 miles (or 5,847 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 Megève Aerodrome and Bahawalpur 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 Megève Aerodrome and Bahawalpur Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• Because of Megève Aerodrome's high elevation of 4,830 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at MVV. Combined with a high temperature, this could make MVV a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
