About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Phaplu Airport (PPL), Phaplu, Nepal and Viña del Mar Airport (KNA), Viña del Mar, Chile would travel a Great Circle distance of 11,077 miles (or 17,827 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 Phaplu Airport and Viña del Mar 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 Phaplu Airport and Viña del Mar Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- The furthest airport from Phaplu Airport (PPL) is Mataveri International Airport (IPC), which is located 11,455 miles (18,435 kilometers) away in Easter Island, Chile.
- Because of Phaplu Airport's high elevation of 7,918 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at PPL. Combined with a high temperature, this could make PPL a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
Facts about Viña del Mar Airport (KNA):

- Because of Viña del Mar Airport's relatively low elevation of 461 feet, planes can take off or land at Viña del Mar Airport at a lower air speed than at airports located at a higher elevation. This is because the air density is higher closer to sea level than it would otherwise be at higher elevations.
