Nonstop flight route between Tampa, Florida, United States and Apolo, La Paz, Bolivia:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Tampa International Airport (TPA), Tampa, Florida, United States and Apolo Airport (APB), Apolo, La Paz, Bolivia would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,105 miles (or 4,997 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 Tampa International Airport and Apolo 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 Tampa International Airport and Apolo Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Tampa International Airport (TPA):

• Construction on the new terminal designed by Reynolds, Smith & Hills began in 1968 between the airport's parallel jet-capable runways.
• Today, there are four active airsides with 62 gates.
• Because of Tampa International Airport's relatively low elevation of 26 feet, planes can take off or land at Tampa 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.
• Phase I of the economy parking garage was completed in November 2005.
• Tampa International Airport is a public airport six miles west of Downtown Tampa, in Hillsborough County, Florida, United States.
• At this time, new runway is being planned to increase capacity in fair-weather conditions.
