I thought the same, but I figured maybe it's because Storm's End was was the shortest flight from Dragonstone and she figured it would be the quickest and least dangerous flight?
To get to Stroms End don't you have to fly right by King's landing? Winterfell seems like the easier mission
This is the best map out there, because you move it so easily. It has no spoilers for House of the Dragon.
https://quartermaester.info/Storm's End is south of King's Landing, but much father east. It's an easy flight there from Dragonstone to Storm's End just hugging the coast without getting anywhere near KL.
To fly to Winterfell, you'd either have to fly over the Eyrie, which is probably freezing at any altitude, or you could fly to Maidenpool and follow the Green Fork of the river up to the King's road and take it straight up to WInterfell. But it's a much, much longer trip.
This map is absolutely outstanding to envision troop movements and battles that were fought in the original books, as well as to see how vital taking Harrenhahl would be for the Blacks.
