Nonstop flight route between Yonago, Tottori, Japan and Osaka, Japan:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Miho-Yonago Airport (YGJ), Yonago, Tottori, Japan and Kansai International Airport (KIX), Osaka, Japan would travel a Great Circle distance of 135 miles (or 216 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 relatively short distance between Miho-Yonago Airport and Kansai International Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

• Because of Miho-Yonago Airport's relatively low elevation of 13 feet, planes can take off or land at Miho-Yonago 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.
