## What the aircraft actually flies over

From Paris the path crosses France, then Spain, then 285 km of open water.

The furthest the great circle gets from the equator is 49.0°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.

Leaving Paris the aircraft points south-west (210°); it arrives into Casablanca heading south-west (203°). 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.

One economy seat on it is about 286 kg of CO₂e each way, counting non-CO₂ warming.
