Nonstop flight route between Port-au-Prince, Haiti and Alamogordo, New Mexico, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Toussaint L'Ouverture International Airport (PAP), Port-au-Prince, Haiti and Holloman Air Force Base Alamogordo Army Airfield (HMN), Alamogordo, New Mexico, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,311 miles (or 3,719 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 Toussaint L'Ouverture International Airport and Holloman Air Force Base Alamogordo Army Airfield, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
