What the aircraft actually flies over
From Mexico City the path crosses Mexico.
The furthest the great circle gets from the equator is 20.5°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: west out of Mexico City, west into Guadalajara. Over this distance the curve has too little room to bend the compass.
