Nonstop flight route between Williams Lake, British Columbia, Canada and Columbus, Ohio, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Williams Lake Airport (YWL), Williams Lake, British Columbia, Canada and Port Columbus International Airport (CMH), Columbus, Ohio, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,025 miles (or 3,259 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 Williams Lake Airport and Port Columbus International Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
