What the aircraft actually flies over
From Frankfurt the path crosses Germany, then Czechia, then Poland, then Ukraine, then Russia, then Kazakhstan, then Turkmenistan, then Afghanistan, then Pakistan, then India, then 1,850 km of open water, then Malaysia.
The furthest the great circle gets from the equator is 50.2°N, 4% of the way along.
Flying the line that looks straight on a Mercator map — one constant compass bearing — would cover 10,611 km. That is 331 km further, about 3% more, and roughly 25m of extra flying.
Leaving Frankfurt the aircraft points east (85°); it arrives into Singapore heading south-east (140°). That is 55° of drift without a single turn — the compass moves because the path is a curve on a sphere, not because the aircraft does.
