The plane flies over eastern Europe (Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania), Turkey, Iraq, the Persian Gulf, and then lands in Dubai. It takes approximately 7 hours.
The opposite direction were it started.
The question is "WERE there roads in the Persian empire". The simple answer is no, the Persians only had dirt paths they travelled on but not "roads" by definition being a paved path. The Romans invented roads.
You are the highest object around in these places. Lightening looks for the easiest path and a human body is very conductive.
The most common path is to initially move westward and then turn north and sometimes east to strike either the Gulf Coast or the southern Atlantic Coast.
You would fly above the seashore of the Eastern Seaboard, flying over New York, New Jersey, Virginia, the Carolinas, Florida and the Gulf of Mexico.

Primarily that it struck the Gulf Coast and moved inland and weakened, as hurricanes do, but then moved off the Atlantic coast and reformed. It then moved south (quite unusual in this location) and swung around and struck Florida's Atlantic coast as a strong hurricane again, and moved through the Gulf to strike Texas. Some on the Gulf coast who were devastated by Ivan the first time were worried that the same hurricane would hit them again!
Distance between dallas texas to montego bay is 1531 miles. It is the straight and short path covering gulf of mexico. Path may vary accordingly but the shortest distance is this only.
Tropical cyclones can be very unpredictable, especially in path. Some hurricanes quickly pose an immediate threat to land, while others harmlessly drift into the icy Canadian waters. Most formed hurricanes would move West or Northwest, but many tropical waves, remnants of U.S. storms, and wind shear affect the path of the hurricane. Hurricanes travel into the Gulf of Mexico usually because there is very little other activity affecting the storm, or influencing to move away to the Gulf's entrance.

The Silk Road's northern most paths would be the summer path.
