What the aircraft actually flies over
From Buenos Aires the path crosses Argentina, then Chile.
The furthest the great circle gets from the equator is 34.8°S, 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 Buenos Aires the aircraft points west (275°); it arrives into Santiago heading west (281°). That is 7° of drift without a single turn — the compass moves because the path is a curve on a sphere, not because the aircraft does.
