Just because you see a flight listed on a website does not mean that it is definitely a real flight.
(BTW - both of those links came up empty/unknown.)
You do not know that it is a real flight until you buy the tickets - AND - make/take the flight - AND - determine that your experience on the flight was actually a true reflection of the flight plan you intended from the beginning.

I know what the diagram shows. It is simply the globe earth flattened out. It is not a map. Maps are the result of exploration and surveys, observations from the air and have taken centuries to produce. FE has produced exactly nothing. It explains nothing. It is illogical and defies real world observations.

Have you ever considered that a globe is a flat earth wrapped around a sphere?
One thing can definitely be said for flat earth maps: they don't have the problems that all the globe projections have.
For example:
The Mercator Projection makes the land masses farthest from the equator so much larger than reality.
Gall–Peters projection tries to correct this, but fails to do so as well as distort the shape of the land masses.
The Azimuthal Equidistant Projection (essentially a flat earth map) simply presents the earth as is.

FE absurdity never ceases to amaze me. Yes, trying to make a globe fit onto a two dimensional map has issues. The distortion of land masses is not real as the scale changes with the projection. Try flying internationally with your fake map. Make sure you have your life raft with you. You will need it when you run out of fuel.
