Planning a trip to Egypt and need to know the distance from your current location? Several online tools and methods can help you determine the distance, whether you're interested in the straight-line flight distance or the driving time.
You can use this distance calculator to find out the distance between two or more points anywhere on the earth. In other words, the distance between A and B. Click once on the map to place the first marker and then click again to position the second marker. The distance between the points will then be displayed.
Clearly you, the user inputs two 'points' that are used to calculate the distance.
Want to save your route? The distance will be calculated then displayed below the map in miles or kilometers. To share your route and distance calculation use the option [Generate Link For This Route].
The map will also automatically save your route in your temporary internet cookies so that you can return and see the route as you last left it.

Using Online Distance Calculators
With the distance calculator distance.to you can easily determine distances between world-wide locations. Simply enter any desired location into the search function and you will get the shortest distance (air line) between the points, the route (route planner) as well as all important information. Of course, you can also determine distances between coordinates (latitude / longitude).
If you want to know the exact flight distance or flight time between two cities or airports, simply enter the airport code (IATA) and you will get the appropriate data. If you do not have the appropriate code (IATA), simply search for the desired destination, the nearest airports will be displayed.
Would you like to know how late it is now at your destination or how many time zones you will cross? Here you will find the answer. This distance calculator shows you the time zones and local time and calculates the time difference between start and destination.

Calculating "As the Crow Flies" Distance
Calculating the "As the Crow Flies" distance is a matter of using Great Circle formula.
Driving Time and Route Planning
Travelmath helps you find the driving time based on actual directions for your road trip. You can find out how long it will take to drive between any two cities, airports, states, countries, or zip codes. This can also help you plan the best route to travel to your destination. Compare the results with the flight time calculator to see how much longer it might take to drive the distance instead of flying.

Additional Tips
- Compare the results to the straight line distance to determine whether it's better to drive or fly.
- Find your flight distances quickly to estimate the number of frequent flyer miles you'll accumulate.
Distance Calculation Details
The database uses the latitude and longitude of each location to calculate distance using the great circle distance formula. The calculation is done using the Vincenty algorithm and the WGS84 ellipsoid model of the Earth, which is the same one used by most GPS receivers. This gives you the flying distance "as the crow flies."
Examples of Distance Calculations
Here are some examples of distance calculations:
- Map showing the distance between Belfast and Dublin.
- Map showing the estimated distance between New York and Paris.
As far as I can see this is an accurate estimate (if there is such a thing).
