About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Tupelo Regional Airport (TUP), Tupelo, Mississippi, United States and Megève Aerodrome (MVV), Megève, France would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,805 miles (or 7,733 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 Tupelo Regional Airport and Megève Aerodrome, 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 Tupelo Regional Airport and Megève Aerodrome. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Because of Tupelo Regional Airport's relatively low elevation of 346 feet, planes can take off or land at Tupelo Regional 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.
- Tupelo Regional Airport (TUP) currently has only 1 runway.

- Megève Aerodrome (MVV) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Megève Aerodrome's high elevation of 4,830 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at MVV. Combined with a high temperature, this could make MVV a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
