Geographic profile for JFK–LHR
Distance is calculated between the published coordinates of John F. Kennedy International Airport and London Heathrow Airport. It describes the shortest path over a sphere; actual airline tracks can vary with weather, airspace and operations.
How the New York–London route looks on a globe
The North Atlantic great-circle route rises above the straight east-west line seen on a flat map and creates a clear cinematic reveal between two global cities.
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.
