Geographic profile for LHR–HND
Distance is calculated between the published coordinates of London Heathrow Airport and Tokyo Haneda Airport. It describes the shortest path over a sphere; actual airline tracks can vary with weather, airspace and operations.
How the London–Tokyo route looks on a globe
The shortest route bends north over Eurasia, showing why a rotating globe communicates long-haul geography better than a flat line.
TripAnim positions both airports using their real coordinates, draws the route as a great-circle arc and rotates the globe automatically to keep the aircraft inside the frame throughout the journey.
