What the aircraft actually flies over
From Dubai the path crosses 1,275 km of open water, then India, then 1,054 km of open water, then Myanmar, then Thailand.
The furthest the great circle gets from the equator is 25.2°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 Dubai the aircraft points east (96°); it arrives into Bangkok heading east (112°). That is 16° of drift without a single turn — the compass moves because the path is a curve on a sphere, not because the aircraft does.
