## What the aircraft actually flies over

From Auckland the path crosses 2,054 km of open water.

Holding a single compass bearing the whole way would cover almost exactly the same ground, so on this route the flat map and the globe agree.

The heading barely moves: north out of Auckland, north into Nadi. Over this distance the curve has too little room to bend the compass.
