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?

1. The air is thinner = less air resistance/drag = more fuel efficient = uses less fuel = cheaper
2. You fly above the weather = safer
