What the aircraft actually flies over
From Bogotá the path crosses Colombia, then Ecuador.
The path stays within 4.7°N of the equator for its whole length, so the aircraft tracks almost due south-west the entire way.
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-west out of Bogotá, south-west into Quito. Over this distance the curve has too little room to bend the compass.
