Anyone who's flown to Europe or Asia from USA (or vice versa) knows that when you watch the in-flight tracker screen, it shows you're making a giant rainbow-arc shape over Greenland/Alaska.
You've probably wondered: "That's weird, why don't they just fly in a straight line? Wouldn't that be the easiest, most fuel-efficient way to get from point A to point B?"
Don't worry - you are not crazy!
Here's what's actually going on with these nonsensical flight paths, explained by Terry Eicher 👇
@remolacha@Jeffreysalced20@AkademiksTV The Sherlock Holmes breaks it up I didn't know he was that good 🥶 the whole country doesn't watch TV channels just watch YouTube and @matiasgarciard is fulfilling that with different @YouTube programs on his platform ✊🏾

"They better do it. And if they don't, it's going to be a horrible look on Adam Silver and the NBA if they allow him to get away with this. ... Wemby should be suspended for a Game 5."
@KendrickPerkins says he wants Wemby suspended for Game 5 for elbowing Naz Reid 😳 👀
@mickeyl2300@Martinc101112@benwehrman You’re misunderstanding, being close to land has virtually nothing to do with this flight path. It’s because it’s nearly 10,000 miles shorter of a flight to go north the way they did
@mickeyl2300@benwehrman That’s dumb af. Not fiscally sustainable for any business to take a much longer route spending billions for the off-chance that their might be an emergency. And since when do billion dollar corporations give a shit about their consumer?
Planes don't avoid the Pacific—transpacific flights from LA/SFO to Tokyo, Sydney, etc. cross it daily. Those "arc" routes on maps are great circle paths, the actual shortest distance on a round Earth (not straight lines on flat maps).
Your pilot friend may have meant ETOPS rules for emergency diversions, but efficiency and fuel are the main factors, not hugging coastlines. The Pacific is routinely flown.
I’ve been at 10,000 dollar a night dinners all over the globe for months and the best food I’ve had yet is this Jerk Chicken in Harlem New York.
