Original Note:
Flights often connect at hubs if direct routes would not get enough passengers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airline_hub https://science.howstuffworks.com/transport/flight/modern/airline3.htm e.g. Perth to Johannesburg 8,340 km West via Sydney 3,300 km East https://www.kayak.com/flights/PER-JNB/2023-12-07/2023-12-13?sort=bestflight_a&fs=airlines=QF;stops=1 https://www.qantas.com/au/en/flight-deals/flights-from-perth-to-johannesburg.html/per/jnb/economy?tabId=flights But there are direct nonstop fights Sydney (Australia) to Johannesburg (South Africa) with no stop in the middle east. https://www.qantas.com/au/en/flight-deals/flights-from-sydney-to-johannesburg.html/syd/jnb/economy https://www.kayak.com/flights/SYD-JNB/2023-12-07/2023-12-13?sort=bestflight_a&fs=stops=0
