Travel Thursday: Going the Distance to Save Money and Miles

Here's a simple but very useful tool for figuring point to point mileage (or kilometres). The Great Circle Mapper lets you enter two or more points, and it automatically provides distance between them. This is especially useful for figuring out frequent flyer mileage earning potential, or for pricing complicated round the world airfares with Star Alliance or oneworld.

It's not a tool that I use often, but it's sure helpful when I need it.
