What the aircraft actually flies over
From Mumbai the path crosses 1,815 km of open water.
The furthest the great circle gets from the equator is 25.2°N, 100% 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.
Leaving Mumbai the aircraft points north-west (294°); it arrives into Dubai heading west (287°). That is 7° of drift without a single turn — the compass moves because the path is a curve on a sphere, not because the aircraft does.
