What the aircraft actually flies over
From Bucharest the path crosses Romania, then Hungary.
The furthest the great circle gets from the equator is 48.1°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.
Leaving Bucharest the aircraft points north-west (302°); it arrives into Vienna heading north-west (295°). That is 7° of drift without a single turn — the compass moves because the path is a curve on a sphere, not because the aircraft does.
