There are a number of factors in deciding flight paths. There are incoming planes and outgoing planes from an airport and each must have a different flight path. There are also civil restrictions on flying over populated areas, which means at certain times of the day some flight paths are off limits. Often a coastal city must be approached from the sea, so the flight path may involve approaching the city by a rural flight path to miss populated areas and then several tight turns to approach the airport from the ocean.

The property of light to travel in a straight line is known as rectilinear propagation. This means that light travels in a straight path until it encounters an obstacle or medium that causes it to change direction.
Memphis, Tennessee, is approximately 7,000 miles (about 11,265 kilometers) away from Beijing, China, when measured in a straight line. However, the actual travel distance may vary depending on the flight path and layovers. Direct flights are rare, so most travelers will need to consider connecting flights, which can increase the total travel time.
