| How Far Is Ottawa From New York By Plane |
As the crow flies (or a plane zooms)
The shortest distance, as they say, is a straight shot. In this case, a plane ride following a magical invisible ruler between Ottawa (YOW) and the bright lights of New York City (well, any of its major airports, LGA, JFK, or EWR) is about 336 miles (or 541 kilometers). That's a hop, skip, and a jump, well, maybe more of a comfortable airplane seat recline, for a quick getaway.
Pro Tip: Don't forget to factor in takeoff and landing – you won't be blasting off into space (although the New York skyline might make you feel like you are!). Plan on a total travel time of roughly 1 hour and 34 minutes, which is less time than it takes to watch some Oscar snubs get shut out (zing!).
QuickTip: Pause before scrolling further.
But wait, there's more! (the scenic route, that is)
While the straight-shot distance is all well and good, who says you have to take the most direct path? Maybe you're a fan of beautiful landscapes or just really need an excuse for airplane snacks. If that's the case, the actual flight path could be slightly longer, depending on factors like wind and air traffic.
The scenic route might add a bit of extra time, but hey, more time to ponder your next great adventure!
So, how far are we from New York, again?
In short, it's a breezy 336-mile plane ride, give or take a few scenic detours.
Tip: Reread if it feels confusing.
Remember:
- Pack your appetite – those airplane pretzels just won't cut it for a New York adventure.
- Brush up on your Americanisms – a double-double might get you a confused look in the Big Apple.
- Be prepared to fall in love – both with the city and the ease of travel between Ottawa and New York!
