Traditionally, this has been done by using a map with a scale, but now you can find land miles by using one of the various websites that provide this information. Air miles between two airports can be calculated in a similar way. You can estimate the approximate air miles by using a map and translating land miles into international nautical miles. However, an easier method is to use the Internet to find your answer.
Visit one of the websites designed to calculate air miles. Some options include WebFlyer.com and USAToday.com's air mileage calculating tool, MileMarker.
