About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Page Municipal Airport (PGA), Page, Arizona, United States and Suvarnabhumi Airport (NBK), Bangkok, Thailand would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,360 miles (or 13,455 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 Page Municipal Airport and Suvarnabhumi 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 Page Municipal Airport and Suvarnabhumi Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Because of Page Municipal Airport's high elevation of 4,316 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at PGA. Combined with a high temperature, this could make PGA a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
Facts about Suvarnabhumi Airport (NBK):

- Because of Suvarnabhumi Airport's relatively low elevation of 5 feet, planes can take off or land at Suvarnabhumi 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.
- In January 2007, ruts were discovered in the runways at Suvarnabhumi.
