Nonstop flight route between Tegel / Berlin, Germany and Bisbee/Douglas, Arizona, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Berlin Tegel Airport (TXL), Tegel / Berlin, Germany and Bisbee Douglas International Airport (DUG), Bisbee/Douglas, Arizona, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,691 miles (or 9,158 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 Berlin Tegel Airport and Bisbee Douglas International 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 Berlin Tegel Airport and Bisbee Douglas International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• Because of Berlin Tegel Airport's relatively low elevation of 122 feet, planes can take off or land at Berlin Tegel 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.
• Plans for converting the area into allotment gardens were shelved due to the Berlin Blockade, which began on 24 June 1948.

• Because of Bisbee Douglas International Airport's high elevation of 4,154 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at DUG. Combined with a high temperature, this could make DUG a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
