WN1380 distance and great-circle path
WN1380 covers 2,219 km, or 1,379 miles. That makes it a medium-haul flight, long enough for a full meal service, short enough for narrowbodies. Of the 255 routes we track, it ranks 196 by distance.
The plane leaves New York heading west. 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 LGA–DAL route appears on a tracker map.
Why WN1380 block time differs from cruise time
The schedule allows 3.9 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 567 km/h. A Boeing 737-700 cruises faster than that. The gap is taxi time, climbing, descending and holding.
Flying west, this route pushes against the wind. The trip back east is usually shorter, even though the distance is the same. See what really moves flight times.
