What the aircraft actually flies over
From Hong Kong the path crosses China, then 427 km of open water.
The furthest the great circle gets from the equator is 25.1°N, 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.
The heading barely moves: north-east out of Hong Kong, east into Taipei. Over this distance the curve has too little room to bend the compass.
