Firstly it is quite surprising that you asked this question but I am going to tell you.

I fly between South Africa and Sweden 6 times a year and have learnt this canny little trick to determine my spatial orientation with respect to the chord of my arc. Huh? you may say, well let me explain. France has really pissed off some countries in North Africa namely Niger and Algeria, this is due mainly to historical reasons with France controlling their economies and as a consequence have had really poor GDP growth and so have blamed (rightfully) France for their slow growth etc. and have subsequently banned all French aircraft from flying over the respective countries. This has occurred mainly late last year (coup) and Algeria this year so Air France (the airline I fly on) has to now fly around these countries. So AF has to fly from SA to Paris in a curvilinear arc more or less around the bulge of Africa, which as you doubt know would cause some real headaches in trying to determine the chord length but my superpower is observational accuracy.

Now, KLM the airline of the Netherlands is owned by Air France and KLM flies over these countries so you can see how absolutely absurd this whole geopolitical situation is, also I need to add that Chad and Libya are unstable in terms of terrorism etc. so not a good idea to fly over them. This ordeal adds about an extra 30 minutes to my flight time, which doesn't bother me on the SA Paris leg because I have a 4.5 hour wait for my connecting flight to Sweden but the reverse leg does irk me a bit because I get back home later but that's just personal issues. I suppose one could ask why I then don't fly with KLM as they, being owned by AF, also use Flying Blue (AF frequent flyer program). It all comes down to the third language I learnt at school, which here's a clue it wasn't Dutch.

For the France to Sweden portion of the journey I use simple pythagorean principles to determine the abridged straight line to Sweden and this then gives me the distance between the start point and the end point, using some extrapolation within a 0.027% accuracy.

OR...

My partner could have plotted our respective houses on Google maps and determined the straight line distance between the two.
