      The line from LaGuardia to Toronto is shown as a straight line, but because it’s a projected map and the plane is flying on a sphere, the flight path would actually look curved on the projection.

        This is a simple start - destination line. No one cares about the actual flight path.

            Here you are: KLGA/04 N0452F380 DCT GAYEL Q818 WOZEE LINNG3 CYYZ/15L

            And OP is wrong, the flight is too short to use great circles (376nm gnd dist).

        And all those little © notices at the bottom mean this is of course the fault of someone at LaGuardia and definitely not some other organization(s), nope, couldn’t be
