Nonstop flight route between St. Moritz / Samedan, Switzerland and Pescara, Italy:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Samedan Airport (SMV), St. Moritz / Samedan, Switzerland and Abruzzo Airport (PSR), Pescara, Italy would travel a Great Circle distance of 354 miles (or 569 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 Samedan Airport and Abruzzo Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
