Best Answer

The Earth is not flat. Therefore flight routes from point A to point B will not be in a straight line. Between any two countries in the northern hemisphere, it makes more sense to go north as well as east or west because there is less distance between the same amount of the degrees of longitude. It happens that this type of flight path goes over Europe since Europe is to the northeast of the United States and to the northwest of the Middle East.
