Why the route curves
A great circle is the shortest path between two points on a sphere. It often looks curved on a flat map, especially on long-haul routes.

Route briefing
Your plain-English route briefing will summarise stage length, direction and key geographic characteristics.
Planning-grade, not a flight plan
Actual flown distance varies with winds, airways, weather and ATC. Use this result for comparison, network analysis and early planning.
