as the crow flies
"As the crow flies" or "in a beeline" is an idiom for the shortest distance between two points (on a map, disregarding the vagaries of intervening terrain); the geodesic distance.
An example is the great-circle distance between the cities of Key West and Pensacola, at either end of the U.S. state of Florida, where the direct point-to-point aerial transit path (''as the bird flies'') is the shortest route by road is about .
The phrases are attested in print as early as 1758.〔
