WN1 distance and great-circle path
WN1 covers 386 km, or 240 miles. That makes it a short-haul flight, a single-aisle hop where turnaround time matters more than range. Of the 255 routes we track, it ranks 251 by distance.
The plane leaves Dallas heading south-east. On the map above, the line looks curved. That is normal. The shortest path over a round planet never looks straight on a flat screen. Our guide explains how the DAL–HOU route appears on a tracker map.
Why WN1 block time differs from cruise time
The schedule allows 1.1 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 356 km/h. A Boeing 737-700 cruises faster than that. The gap is taxi time, climbing, descending and holding.
Winds aloft shift the real flight time by up to an hour in either direction. See what really moves flight times.
Can the Boeing 737-700 comfortably fly WN1?
Not at all. At roughly 6% of its range, this is an easy trip for a Boeing 737-700. The airline picked it for cabin size, not distance. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Boeing 737-700.
