## What the aircraft actually flies over

From Delhi the path crosses India.

The furthest the great circle gets from the equator is 28.6°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.

The heading barely moves: south out of Delhi, south into Bangalore. Over this distance the curve has too little room to bend the compass.

One economy seat on it is about 253 kg of CO₂e each way, counting non-CO₂ warming.
