How the globe works
Distances are great-circle distances between city centres, rounded to 100 km. The distance an aircraft actually flies is usually longer, and we do not show flight times, which vary by airline and route.
The land is drawn from Natural Earth's public-domain country shapes. The globe never spins on its own: it turns when you drag it or pick a city. The city it first suggests you fly from is worked out in your browser from your device's time zone, and our code does not send the time zone anywhere. When you pick a city, Google Analytics counts which one, and the city you were flying from, as part of the aggregate traffic our privacy page describes.
Flight links open Aviasales, and hotel links Stay22. Both are our partners, and we may earn a commission if you book, at no extra cost to you. Our promise explains why that never decides what we recommend.
