About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Cap. FAP Victor Montes Arias Airport (TYL), Talara, Peru and Suvarnabhumi Airport (NBK), Bangkok, Thailand would travel a Great Circle distance of 11,792 miles (or 18,978 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 Cap. FAP Victor Montes Arias Airport and Suvarnabhumi 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 Cap. FAP Victor Montes Arias Airport and Suvarnabhumi Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Cap. FAP Victor Montes Arias Airport (TYL):
- Because of Cap. FAP Victor Montes Arias Airport's relatively low elevation of 282 feet, planes can take off or land at Cap. FAP Victor Montes Arias 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.
- In July 1944, the last aircraft departed from the airport, and most Americans departed.
- In addition to being known as "Cap. FAP Victor Montes Arias Airport", another name for TYL is "Aeropuerto Capitán FAP Víctor Montes Arias".

Facts about Suvarnabhumi Airport (NBK):
- Suvarnabhumi Airport's main terminal roof is designed with structural elements and bays placed in a cantilevered, wavelike form to appear to "float" over the concourse beneath.
- Because of Suvarnabhumi Airport's relatively low elevation of 5 feet, planes can take off or land at Suvarnabhumi 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.
- Further investigations found that taxilane and taxiway rutting was caused by separation of the asphalt binder from the aggregate surface due to prolonged water infiltration into the asphalt concrete base course, a phenomenon known as "stripping." The 23-centimetre thick base course is the top-most layer of the tarmac.
