Air miles are calculated between two points on a map by measuring the distance between their corresponding latitude and longitude coordinates. Do not confuse air miles with driving miles, because roads and highways are not built in a straight line. Another consideration also needs to be made to where the airport is located if you are calculating a length of a flight.
Find the two cities that you would like to know the distance between.
