Why is Los Angeles closer to LHR than Las Vegas ( BA miles calcuator)
Hi,

Looking on the BA miles calculator,

LHR-LAX ( Flex econ for a blue card holder so that should be the miles between cities) 5442

LHR-LAS 5681


I would have thought that given LAX is further west and south of london than las vegas it would be further away ( even allowing for the great circle route)

Confused from falkirk
