Straighter path of flow = higher pressure.

That's not quite true.
The air pressure under a wing is not higher than the surrounding air pressure, but the pressure over the wing is less than the surrounding air pressure. That is because the air on top travels a farther distance. The difference in pressure creates the lift.
