I hope I convey my point probably, but why do planes go so many thousands of feet in the air? Is it faster that way, or could they achieve similar flight times at a lower altitude?
Does it have something to do with the curvature of the earth?

climbing the extra 15k feet adds a pretty negligible amount of straight line travel and time. if you only climb to 15k and I climb to 30k, I’m probably going to get there first unless you burn a lot more fuel to just barely beat me there.
