Those with knowledge about aviation please why is it that the flight from Lagos to Chicago does not follow a straight path?

the earth is spherical........ a straight line on a sphere isn't necessarily the shortest distance.
I feel they prefer not fly over water for that long distance Incase of any emergency they can easily spot an airport to land. In my own opinion. I'd love to know more from professionals.
Because earth is a sphere. The earth is slim at the poles and large at equator. So following the poles reduces your distance by alot. The only time you should follow the equator is if you are going to space, you fly eastward to gain extra momentum due to earth's rotation.
Fly as close to land as much as possible in case of an emergency...
Mammy water na your mate? Follow where land plenty oh incase passenger wan pee for one country u branch.
Very simple. The map as you know it is false. That straight line appears shorter but is actually longer than the flight path planes use now.
As the flight moves from Lagos through these countries it communicates with the various air traffic control to get weather reports and separation alerts so as to avoid collisions, also note that it gains ICAO clearance from every country it passes through
You no see the ocean? ABi you tink say people like Aquaman na just legend?
You cannot go straight to Chicago through the North Atlantic Ocean, the shortest route isn’t the best.
It's most likely a connecting-flight so the airline has to stop at a country where their hub is before continuing and this may take the first flight off the 'straight' line.
![🎙️ Ash-Shaikh al-ʿAllāmah, Sālih al-Fawzān (may Allāh preserve him): Advice to students of knowledge who busy themselves with Takfīr, Tabdīʿ and seeking out the slips of the scholars and the Salafi callers to Allāh, claiming that this is the path of Shaikh al-Fawzān and others from the people of knowledge. A summary of the Shaikh al-Fawzān’s speech: This is a trial, and not permissible: busying oneself with the mistakes of the people, and causing people to flee from the scholars, the students of knowledge, and from the callers to Allāh. This is a fitnah—it is not permissible to act upon that, nor to follow the one who does that. Rather, it is obligatory for there to be mutual advising—the Religion is sincere advice—and cooperation upon righteousness and piety between the Muslims, and to act with knowledge. As for busying oneself with this person and that person, that is backbiting and repelling—and backbiting is among the major sins—and it does not rectify anything; instead, it corrupts and splits. If we see something in a person, we advise him, either by writing to him or by speaking to him. As for sitting and backbiting, that is harām. This leads to the splitting of the Muslims and causes people to flee from seeking knowledge. This behaviour is not permissible at all. They are lying, those who say that this is our way, or the way of others [from the scholars]—indeed, we warn against this in our lectures, our books, and we warn against this path. —Recorded about 12 years ago. “And remind, for verily, the reminding benefits the believers.” (Adh-Dhariyat: 55)](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2043342047810068569/amplify_video_thumb/2043329318806331392/img/tYJjSUoatk3GhLxr.jpg)
