About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Sedona Airport (SDX), Sedona, Arizona, United States and Fa'a'ā International Airport (PPT), Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,390 miles (or 7,065 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 Sedona Airport and Fa'a'ā 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 Sedona Airport and Fa'a'ā International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Sedona Airport is a small non-towered airport located two miles southwest of the central business district of Sedona, a city in Yavapai County, Arizona, United States.
- Because of Sedona Airport's high elevation of 4,830 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at SDX. Combined with a high temperature, this could make SDX a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- Sedona Airport (SDX) currently has only 1 runway.
- Sedona is a very popular destination among Arizona tourists, especially with those who are interested in the New Age movement or those seeking to be close to nature.
- Former two time Olympic distance runner Pat Porter, his 15 year old son Connor and a friend of his son, 14 year old Connor Mantsch, died when their airplane, a Beechcraft Duke piloted by Porter, crashed after takeoff from the airport, on Thursday, July 26, 2012.
