actually not true, not a FAA thing -- different airlines use different numbers -- long discussion of this in http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...solved-ua.html

And 998 is correct (actually 997 but that's a rounding error).

1010 is the distance from LGA-TPA.

i'm not sure if anyone noticed this, but i know this has to be a glitch.

was booking flights to DEN and noticed this.

SNA-DEN - 846 miles
ONT-DEN - 891 miles

ONT is more inland but somehow is 45 miles further away from DEN? that makes zero sense.

Correct - should be 819. I hope they don't have someone typing in all of these manually

According to gcmap.com, ONT-DEN is 819 miles; looks like they transposed the last two digits.
