Press play or drag along the track to fly the route
- 8,031 km the shortest path, along a great circle
- 8,126 km the straight line on a flat map, 95 km (1.2%) longer

Nonstop flights from Bogotá to Madrid are scheduled at about 9h 35m, and at about 10h 25m from Madrid to Bogotá. These are the times airlines publish, gate to gate, rounded to five minutes. The two directions differ mostly because of the winds at cruising altitude.
