What the aircraft actually flies over
From São Paulo the path crosses Brazil, then Uruguay.
The furthest the great circle gets from the equator is 34.8°S, 100% 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 São Paulo the aircraft points south-west (220°); it arrives into Buenos Aires heading south-west (226°). That is 6° of drift without a single turn — the compass moves because the path is a curve on a sphere, not because the aircraft does.
