What the aircraft actually flies over
From New York the path crosses the United States, then Canada.
The furthest the great circle gets from the equator is 43.7°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-west out of New York, north-west into Toronto. Over this distance the curve has too little room to bend the compass.
