About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Denver International Airport (DEN), Denver, Colorado, United States and Manuel Crescencio Rejón International Airport (MID), Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,579 miles (or 2,542 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 Denver International Airport and Manuel Crescencio Rejón International Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Denver International Airport (DEN):
- With the construction of DIA, Denver was determined to build an airport that could be easily expanded over the next 50 years to eliminate many of the problems that had plagued Stapleton International Airport.
- The furthest airport from Denver International Airport (DEN) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 10,877 miles (17,505 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.
- Because of Denver International Airport's high elevation of 5,431 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at DEN. Combined with a high temperature, this could make DEN a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The closest airport to Denver International Airport (DEN) is Centennial Airport (APA), which is located 22 miles (36 kilometers) SSW of DEN.
- On September 25, 1994, the airport hosted a fly-in that drew several hundred general aviation aircraft, providing pilots with a unique opportunity to operate in and out of the new airport, and to wander around on foot looking at the ground-side facilities—including the baggage system, which was still under testing.
- From 1980 to 1983, the Denver Regional Council of Governments investigated six areas for a new metro area airport which were north and east of Denver.
- Denver International Airport handled 52,556,359 passengers last year.

- In addition to being known as "Manuel Crescencio Rejón International Airport", another name for MID is "Aeropuerto Internacional Manuel Crescencio Rejón".
- Because of Manuel Crescencio Rejón International Airport's relatively low elevation of 39 feet, planes can take off or land at Manuel Crescencio Rejón International 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.
