WN100 distance and great-circle path
WN100 covers 411 km, or 256 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 249 by distance.
The plane leaves Las Vegas 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 LAS–PHX route appears on a tracker map.
Why WN100 block time differs from cruise time
The schedule allows 1.2 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 353 km/h. A Boeing 737 MAX 8 cruises faster than that. The gap is taxi time, climbing, descending and holding.
Flying east, this route usually picks up tailwinds high up. The flight back west normally takes longer, even though the distance is identical. See what really moves flight times.
Can the Boeing 737 MAX 8 comfortably fly WN100?
Not at all. At roughly 6% of its range, this is an easy trip for a Boeing 737 MAX 8. The airline picked it for cabin size, not distance. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Boeing 737 MAX 8.
