Oùcécap’s take

Lisbon shares its latitude with Washington, and its antipode lies 440 km from Wellington. From London, aim south-west, at 210°, for 1,585 km. From New York, a flat map would put it due east, at 92°; the compass says 70°, still east, but noticeably further north. Madrid, its neighbour, is 503 km to the north-east.
