| Nov 24, 2018 at 23:17 | comment | added | KorvinStarmast | Given the time of day that flight took off, your entering assumption comes off as misplaced. It was nearly midnight when they took off ... most of the passengers have a reasonable chance to have been asleep, or trying to sleep. Flight 370 took off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport at 00:42 local time; At 1:19, while Flight 370 was over the South China Sea between Malaysia and . | |

There are several non-nefarious reasons: adverse weather deviations, diversion to another airport (due to weather or a technical problem), flying a holding pattern pending clearance for landing, avoiding proximity with other aircraft (rare), strategic lateral offset procedure (rare), etc. | |
