Nonstop flight route between San Juan, Puerto Rico and Porto Velho, Brazil:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU), San Juan, Puerto Rico and Porto Velho-Governador Jorge Teixeira de Oliveira International Airport (Belmonte) (PVH), Porto Velho, Brazil would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,882 miles (or 3,028 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 Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport and Porto Velho-Governador Jorge Teixeira de Oliveira International Airport (Belmonte), the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
