Nonstop flight route between Stuttgart, Germany and West Yellowstone, Montana, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof (ZWS), Stuttgart, Germany and Yellowstone Airport (WYS), West Yellowstone, Montana, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,043 miles (or 8,115 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 Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof and Yellowstone 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 Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof and Yellowstone Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• Long-distance trains end their run in the above-ground terminus station at one of 17 tracks, which is located on the second floor of the main hall, with the main entrance and service counters on the ground floor.
• Because of Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof's relatively low elevation of 0 feet, planes can take off or land at Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof 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.
• The furthest airport from Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof (ZWS) is Chatham Islands (CHT), which is nearly antipodal to Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof (meaning Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Chatham Islands), and is located 12,001 miles (19,313 kilometers) away in Waitangi, Chatham Islands, New Zealand.
• In addition to its great architectural quality, the new building was well incorporated into the other structures in the city center.
