What the aircraft actually flies over
From Paris the path crosses France, then Germany, then Czechia, then Poland, then Ukraine, then Russia, then Kazakhstan, then Turkmenistan, then Afghanistan, then Pakistan, then India, then 1,850 km of open water, then Malaysia.
The furthest the great circle gets from the equator is 49.7°N, 9% of the way along.
Flying the line that looks straight on a Mercator map — one constant compass bearing — would cover 11,113 km. That is 389 km further, about 4% more, and roughly 29m of extra flying.
Leaving Paris the aircraft points east (80°); it arrives into Singapore heading south-east (140°). That is 59° of drift without a single turn — the compass moves because the path is a curve on a sphere, not because the aircraft does.
