Miami to London Flight: Does It Cross the Bermuda Triangle? No
No. A Miami (MIA) → London (LHR/LGW) flight does not pass through the Bermuda Triangle.
Bermuda Triangle Boundaries
Vertices: Miami, FL → Bermuda → San Juan, PR. Roughly 500,000 sq mi.
Flight Path
- Great circle route heads northeast from Miami.
- Crosses: Florida Straits → Bahamas (north of) → Atlantic → Azores (south of) → Europe.
- Passes north of Bermuda (typically 300–500 km).
- Well north of the Triangle's northern vertex (Bermuda itself).
Visual
Triangle: Miami (25.8°N) → Bermuda (32.3°N) → San Juan (18.5°N).
Flight: Miami → 40°N+ → Europe. Entirely north of the Triangle.
Why the Myth Persists
- Miami is a vertex → people assume departures enter it.
- Media sensationalism (Flight 19, Cyclops, etc.).
- Statistical reality: no higher incident rate than comparable ocean areas.
Your flight to London skips the legend entirely.
