West
Aircraft fly in the direction of their destination regardless which way around the world that may be. That's a trick question. To an observer standing at the North Pole, a plane flying east to west is going clockwise. To an observer standing at the South Pole, a plane flying west to east is going clockwise. And, of course, some planes fly over the poles. But if you only consider planes that are flying east/west, they are going both clockwise and counterclockwise, depending on which direction you are viewing them from.
For sailors, bearing is the angle measured clockwise from North. For mathematicians, direction is measured counter-clockwise from the positive x-axis. Thus, due East as a bearing would be 90 degrees, since it is 90 degrees clockwise from North, and East as a direction would be 0 degrees, since East is the same as the positive x-axis. So yeah, there you go.
It could be a set of latitude/longitude coordinates that points to a location on the Earth's surface. If it is, then the location that it points to is in Nicaragua, about 86 miles east-southeast of Managua.

Southeast
Nevada is east and southeast of Northern California, while Arizona is east and southeast of Southern California.
Southeastern path: East across the English channel; east across Germany flying just south of Berlin; southeast through the Ukraine; southeast through the Caucasus (Russia); southeast across the northern portion of the Caspian Sea; southeast across Kazakhstan, a tiny section of western Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan; southeast across Afghanistan (south of Mazari Sharif and north of Kabul); southeast across Pakistan (south of Lahore); southeast over the Punjab (India) and into New Delhi.

Greece is east of Italy (or east southeast to be more precise).
90 degrees from North would be East, then another 45 degrees from that would bring it halfway to South. Therefore, 135 degrees clockwise from North is Southeast.
To the east, toward Southeast Asia
The Mississippi River does not run through Alaska or Canada. It is in the contiguous U.S. states southeast of Alaska.
