## What the aircraft actually flies over

From Paris the path crosses France, then Germany, then Austria, then Slovenia, then Croatia, then Serbia, then Bulgaria, then Turkey, then Syria, then Iraq, then Saudi Arabia.

The furthest the great circle gets from the equator is 49.0°N, 0% of the way along.

Flying the line that looks straight on a Mercator map — one constant compass bearing — would cover 5,029 km. That is 60 km further, about 1% more, and roughly 4m of extra flying.

Leaving Paris the aircraft points east (104°); it arrives into Doha heading south-east (135°). That is 31° 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 704 kg of CO₂e each way, counting non-CO₂ warming.
