Nonstop flight route between Saratoga, Wyoming, United States and Incheon (near Seoul), South Korea:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Shively Field (SAA), Saratoga, Wyoming, United States and Incheon International Airport (ICN), Incheon (near Seoul), South Korea would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,033 miles (or 9,710 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 Shively Field and Incheon International 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 Shively Field and Incheon International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Shively Field (SAA):

• Shively Field (SAA) currently has only 1 runway.
• The furthest airport from Shively Field (SAA) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 10,831 miles (17,431 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.
• Because of Shively Field's high elevation of 7,012 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at SAA. Combined with a high temperature, this could make SAA a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• The closest airport to Shively Field (SAA) is Rawlins Municipal Airport (RWL), which is located 32 miles (51 kilometers) NW of SAA.

Facts about Incheon International Airport (ICN):

• Because of Incheon International Airport's relatively low elevation of 23 feet, planes can take off or land at Incheon International 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.
