About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Valenciennes-Denain Airport (XVS), Valenciennes, France and Concord Municipal Airport (CON), Concord, New Hampshire, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,429 miles (or 5,519 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 Valenciennes-Denain Airport and Concord Municipal 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 Valenciennes-Denain Airport and Concord Municipal Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!
