Why do they fly so far out of the way when they could just fly straight across?

Why is there even a nonstop flight from buenos aires to darwin? Is australia sharing nuclear sub secrets with the argies to keep the brazilian navy in check?

The direct route would be too boring, so they do some sightseeing over Antarctica instead

The real answer is that they don't want to fly over such a long stretch of empty ocean in case they need to emergency land. There would be no islands on the direct flight path, unlike flights that cross farther north.

The real real answer is that it's a shorter arc length to go this route. If the earth is a sphere, the most direct route isn't always straight east to west.

Lol, there's a reason I said "if". Obviously airlines are part of the conspiracy, that's been established for some time now.

Why would an American (presumably, when you say, American you mean "from the United States") care about a plane going from South America to Australia?

ETOPS limitations. They can't fly that far over the ocean with just two engines so they take the detour over Antarctica in case they need to make an emergency landing.

If the Earth is a stationary pancake then why does an ORD-FRK fight take as little as 7 hrs but FRK or MUC to ORD take around 9hrs? Head or tail winds dont make that much difference.

New Zealand runs the relevant airspace between Australia and Argentina.
New Zealand charges fees for using their airspace, and gets more money the more time an aircraft spends in its airspace, so its ATCs force airplanes on long detours like that pic.
If you don't comply, they shoot you down.
Did it to one of their own, during Air New Zealand's "rebellious" phase.
