LA-to-London. Does that route go over the poles? Probably not. If it did, I would hope that they'd set down.

No. In fact the maximum diversion time on the great circle route from LAX to LHR is only about one hour.

Thanks, I don't have a globe around this place. I wasn't sure if the GCR went near the pole or not.

I've always wondered why they do that as opposed to just a straight, linear route.
