What the aircraft actually flies over
From Santiago the path crosses 3,668 km of open water.
The furthest the great circle gets from the equator is 33.4°S, 0% 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 Santiago the aircraft points west (270°); it arrives into Easter Island heading west (290°). That is 20° of drift without a single turn — the compass moves because the path is a curve on a sphere, not because the aircraft does.
