I know this may be asking a lot - but is there any reason this game does not use Dijkstra's algorithm? For example - to get to Amberpine lodge in Grizzly Hills from Dalaran - you first have to fly all the way down to the tip of Howling Fjord and back. WHY?!

Because it's immersion, like how a bird might get lost in real life if they're a dumb bird.

Not all flight paths are populated by birds.

As others have pointed out, you're missing multiple nodes/flight paths.
