Nonstop flight route between Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico and New Orleans, Louisiana, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Tijuana International Airport (TIJ), Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico and Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base New Orleans (NBG), New Orleans, Louisiana, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,599 miles (or 2,573 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 Tijuana International Airport and Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base New Orleans, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
