Best Answer

The flights follow the shortest route, which is over the top of the earth. It looks odd on a flat map, but makes perfect sense if you have a globe of the earth handy. Use a piece of string and find the shortest route between London and San Francisco - it is almost due North of London.

This is known as a "great circle" route.
