Tbilisi sits at 41.7151°N, 44.8271°E, while London is located at 51.5074°N, 0.1278°W. The initial compass bearing from Tbilisi to London is 304° (WNW), so a great-circle flight path leaves Tbilisi heading roughly WNW. Because the Earth is curved, the actual heading shifts gradually along the route — pilots and navigation systems update it continuously instead of holding a single fixed compass bearing.
The latitude difference is 9.79° and the longitude difference is 44.95°. Each degree of latitude represents about 111 km, which is one reason cross-latitude routes feel longer even when the map looks similar to east–west journeys.
