That is actually the shortest path due to the curvature of the Earth.

Is that saying they are going to land in Russia before flying back to Alaska?

O’Hare to Narita, Japan nonstop?
Must be Cathay Airlines.

This is basically how my comment was going to turn out. I came to say one thing then noticed something else...

That one was actually a United flight. A friend of mine is currently on a JAL flight direct from Ohare to Narita. 12 hours...

This is something called a “great circle route”. In fact, all three are (except the end of the last one).
It’s possible that some waypoints were entered wrong or in the wrong order...
