What the aircraft actually flies over
From Amsterdam the path crosses Netherlands, then Belgium, then France, then Spain.
The furthest the great circle gets from the equator is 52.3°N, 0% of the way along.
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: south out of Amsterdam, south into Barcelona. Over this distance the curve has too little room to bend the compass.
