A clock works like a three-point altimeter.
Or the other way round

For some odd reason (not sure why)

American Airlines’ distance from Miami-Seattle is somehow SHORTER than Alaska’s distance from Fort Lauderdale - Seattle, making FLL-SEA the longest transcon flight within the continental USA. Just a fun fact.

Don’t ask me how, just ask flightradar24.

I betcha FLL has a direct SID while MIA loops around, thus adding distance

*Correction: only on the morning flight, on the evening flight, Miami is longer by 5 miles, on the morning flight, Fort Lauderdale is longer by 5 miles.

The 787 was designed with a huge flaw that was actually unintended, the fuselage was more suited for 2-4-2 seating but it had marginally more width for airlines to cram an extra seat in each row,
