The straight-line distance between Vancouver and Orlando is 4,200 km for a regular-season game, and plenty of other trips within in the league are also very long. Add another 330km flight distance to get to Miami in the future. LA to Montreal is 4,000km. Plus a limited number of charter flights are allowed, so trips may be much longer, with stopovers etc.
