What the aircraft actually flies over
From Copenhagen the path crosses Denmark, then 4,671 km of open water, then Canada, then the United States.
The furthest the great circle gets from the equator is 58.9°N, 28% of the way along.
Flying the line that looks straight on a Mercator map — one constant compass bearing — would cover 6,589 km. That is 382 km further, about 6% more, and roughly 28m of extra flying.
Leaving Copenhagen the aircraft points north-west (294°); it arrives into Newark heading south-west (223°). That is 71° of drift without a single turn — the compass moves because the path is a curve on a sphere, not because the aircraft does.
