How to Calculate Air Miles Between New York Cities

Calculate the air miles between cities before you travel.

Calculating the distance between cities in New York is easy if you have a map or the internet. Calculating the distance between New York cities in air miles is somewhat different. After all, planes don't have to navigate around housing developments and shopping centers; flight paths are more direct than driving routes. To calculate the flight distance between two cities in New York such as New York City and Albany or Buffalo you can use a flight calculator online and have the exact distance in a matter of minutes.

Instructions

1. Go online and visit a flight calculation website such as mapsofworld.com, travelmath.com or webflyer.com.

2. Enter the name of your departure city and arrival city into the boxes provided on the flight calculators and press "Submit" or "Calculate." For example, you can calculate the distance between the John F. Kennedy Airport or La Guardia Airport, both in New York City, to the Albany International Airport or the Syracuse Hancock International Airport in Syracuse, NY.

3. View the results to see how many air miles separate you from your destination.
