Original Note:
Flight plans don't always follow straight lines due to Earth's curvature, air traffic, and safety. Aircraft must navigate arcs, not straight lines, for efficiency and to avoid congested airspace. Large bodies of water are usually skipped for emergency landings and fuel reasons. https://www.sheffield.com/2022/why-dont-planes-fly-in-a-straight-line.html
