The approximate flying distance between California and Pennsylvania is about 2,200 miles. Due to the curvature of the Earth and air travel routes, the driving distance may be longer.

Thank you for providing the additional information about the flying distance. This corroborates the idea that air travel distance between California and Pennsylvania is shorter than driving distance due to the direct route followed by airplanes.
