What the aircraft actually flies over
From Munich the path crosses Austria, then Hungary, then Serbia, then Romania, then Bulgaria, then Turkey, then Syria, then Iraq, then Kuwait.
The furthest the great circle gets from the equator is 48.4°N, 0% of the way along.
Flying the line that looks straight on a Mercator map — one constant compass bearing — would cover 4,335 km. That is 33 km further, about 1% more, and roughly 2m of extra flying.
Leaving Munich the aircraft points east (112°); it arrives into Doha heading south-east (137°). That is 25° of drift without a single turn — the compass moves because the path is a curve on a sphere, not because the aircraft does.
