Do planes fly the same route?

Any route from one airport to another is going through these air tracks; an airplane does not fly in a direct line, it moves from one spot to another. On larger distances, this polyline-shaped route almost fits the direct line. The reason is simple: The shorter the distance, the less fuel is used.

I know that go-arounds are pretty rare: somewhere around 2 per 1000 approaches. In large commercial aircraft the rate is probably even lower due to crew quality, instrumentation, conservative decisions etc. But are there instances of multiple go-arounds having to be initiated by a flight crew on one flight?

How is a plane moving when it is on the ground?

A plane sitting on the ground is moving with the surface of the Earth, and while it appears to us to be at rest, it is actually moving at around 1,000 miles an hour (the exact value depends on your latitude). When it takes off, it still has speed from sitting on the ground.
