Is this the road distance?

No, it is the straight-line (great-circle) distance over the Earth's surface, which is what flights roughly follow. Roads wind, so driving is usually 20–40% further; the Road distance & directions button opens the real route in Google Maps.

How is the flight time estimated?

The distance at a typical airliner cruising speed of about 800 km/h, plus around 30 minutes for take-off, climbing and landing. Real schedules vary with winds, routes and stopovers.

My city is not in the list. What can I do?

Paste its coordinates instead, for example 25.4358, 81.8463, or copy them from a Google Maps link. You can find any place's coordinates by long-pressing it in Google Maps, or use the location button for where you are now.

What is the direction shown?

The initial compass bearing from the first place towards the second, measured clockwise from true north. On long distances the bearing changes along the way because the shortest path follows the curve of the Earth.

Distance Calculator

Straight-line distance, direction and flight time between two cities or coordinates.

Pick two cities, paste coordinates or use your current location to get the straight-line (as the crow flies) distance in kilometres, miles and nautical miles. You also get the compass direction, an approximate flight time, the time difference between the cities and the halfway point, plus a link to driving directions.

Road distance & directions

Roads wind, so the driving distance is longer than the straight line, often by 20–40%. The link opens the actual route in Google Maps.
