Flight Distance Calculator

Enter two airport codes to estimate the great-circle distance in kilometres and miles. The calculation runs in your browser from bundled airport coordinates. Distance is one fact to record; it does not establish coverage, a compensation band or an amount owed.

Great-circle distance

— km

How to use it

  1. 1 Enter the departure airport’s three-letter IATA code.
  2. 2 Enter the arrival airport’s IATA code.
  3. 3 Read the approximate great-circle distance in kilometres and miles.
  4. 4 Use the distance as a reference when checking the journey and applicable rules.

Why this matters

Great-circle distance estimates the shortest path over the Earth between two airport coordinates. It can differ from the route actually flown. This tool measures distance only: it cannot decide carrier coverage, how a connecting journey should be assessed or which legal amount band applies.

Frequently asked questions

What is great-circle distance?

It is the shortest path between two points on a sphere. This tool estimates it from the bundled airport coordinates and rounds the result to kilometres and miles.

Does the distance tell me how much compensation I can claim?

No. Coverage, journey type, operating carrier and disruption conditions need separate review. A distance category is not an eligibility result or an amount owed.
