Both ends are in Asia. **Great circle** 504 km 313 mi **Estimated in the air** 1h 08m block time **Furthest from equator** 13.7°N at 0% along **One lap of Earth** 1.3% of 40,075 km Of the [292 routes catalogued here](https://orbitflights.app/routes), this is the 282nd longest. The Bangkok to Phnom Penh route drawn as a great circle arc on a globe ## What the aircraft actually flies over From Bangkok the path crosses Thailand, then Cambodia. The furthest the great circle gets from the equator is 13.7°N, 0% of the way along. Holding a single compass bearing the whole way would cover almost exactly the same ground, so on this route the flat map and the globe agree. The heading barely moves: south-east out of Bangkok, south-east into Phnom Penh. Over this distance the curve has too little room to bend the compass. One economy seat on it is about 75 kg of CO₂e each way, counting non-CO₂ warming.
