About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between South Caicos Airport (XSC), South Caicos, Turks and Caicos Islands and Lemhi County Airport (SMN), Salmon, Idaho, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,891 miles (or 4,653 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 South Caicos Airport and Lemhi County 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 South Caicos Airport and Lemhi County Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- The closest airport to South Caicos Airport (XSC) is JAGS McCartney International Airport (GDT), which is located 25 miles (41 kilometers) E of XSC.
- Because of South Caicos Airport's relatively low elevation of 6 feet, planes can take off or land at South Caicos 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.
