Both ends are in South America. **Great circle** 712 km 442 mi **Estimated in the air** 1h 23m block time **Furthest from equator** 4.7°N at 0% along **One lap of Earth** 1.8% of 40,075 km Of the [292 routes catalogued here](https://orbitflights.app/routes), this is the 269th longest. The Bogotá to Quito route drawn as a great circle arc on a globe ## What the aircraft actually flies over From Bogotá the path crosses Colombia, then Ecuador. The path stays within 4.7°N of the equator for its whole length, so the aircraft tracks almost due south-west the entire way. 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-west out of Bogotá, south-west into Quito. Over this distance the curve has too little room to bend the compass. One economy seat on it is about 106 kg of CO₂e each way, counting non-CO₂ warming.
