You can easily fix up the list structure with Flatten. Note that this is much
more efficient for large datasets than your procedural code, which has
complexity O(n^2) with n the total number of pairs.
In[63]:= Flatten[
Table[{i, j}, {i, 30.0, 45.0, 5.0}, {j, -270.0, -240.0, 10.0}], 1]
Out[63]= {{30., -270.}, {30., -260.}, {30., -250.}, {30., -240.}, \
{35., -270.}, {35., -260.}, {35., -250.}, {35., -240.}, {40., -270.}, \
{40., -260.}, {40., -250.}, {40., -240.}, {45., -270.}, {45., -260.}, \
{45., -250.}, {45., -240.}}
