How Distance is Calculated
- Straight-line distance — The direct "as the crow flies" distance between the two locations, calculated using the Haversine formula with geographic coordinates.
- Travel distance — An estimate of the actual road distance based on the straight-line distance with a road factor applied (typically 1.3–1.5x for most countries).
- Flight distance — The great circle distance, which represents the shortest possible flight path between the two cities.
- Drive time estimate — A rough estimate of driving time based on travel distance and average road speeds.
