## What the aircraft actually flies over

From Dubai the path crosses 1,856 km of open water, then India, then 2,689 km of open water, then Malaysia.

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 (109°); it arrives into Singapore heading south-east (121°). That is 12° 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 828 kg of CO₂e each way, counting non-CO₂ warming.
