They are right.
But there’s a complicating factor - that’s just the great circle route (i.e. the shortest route between the two points). In practice, headwinds and tailwinds often make it more practical to fly an alternative route. Apparently some routes from Asia to America sometimes fly the long way around if they have good tailwinds and actually cover more ground than the Doha - Auckland flight. One such example is Delhi to San Francisco - apparently the shortest route is over the North Pole, but in practice the quickest and most economical route is to fly East and over the Pacific Ocean if the tailwinds are good.
It was often the same with one of the longest routes ever flown - the now withdrawn non-stop flights from the US to Singapore. In theory the shortest route was polar, in practice it was quicker to fly East in both directions, leading to the plane flying all the way around the planet in just one return trip.
Of course, the great circle route is the most practical way of measuring distance travelled as the other routes vary so widely.

Another easy one, what is the 2nd busiest airport in the world?
In term of the amount of pax or in and outbound flights?
It’s OMDB (Dubai). THey have the 2nd most passengers and the most passengers for international flight.
Beijing has the 2nd most PAX. 
And it will stay that way until it’s taking over 1st place from Atlanta.
Atlanta has really built up quite a lot.
Beijing is correct, Dubai is third 
Edit: In terms of all handled pax.
Oops! Wow… I’ve been watching some out of date documentaries!
