About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Wonderboom Airport (PRY), Pretoria, South Africa and Phrae Airport (PRH), Phrae, Thailand would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,699 miles (or 9,172 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 Wonderboom Airport and Phrae 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 Wonderboom Airport and Phrae Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Wonderboom Airport (PRY):
- In 1965, the airport was extensively extended, with a new terminal building and hangars being constructed as well as the runway being extended.
- Because of Wonderboom Airport's high elevation of 4,095 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at PRY. Combined with a high temperature, this could make PRY a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- Wonderboom Airport (PRY) has 2 runways.
