Most southern hemisphere flights that are shown with stopovers in the northern hemisphere are doing that because the so-called flight is actually two flights, and the passengers going from Johannesburg to Santiago (or other similar cities) have to transfer to a different plane at the stopover. The reason is, there is not enough demand for flights from Johannesburg to Santiago (or similar cities) to make regular direct flights practical. Airlines don't like to keep flights active when they can't sell all the seats and end up flying with too many empty seats.

Of course, inconvenient details like that are very tempting for flat-earthers to ignore or overlook. Perhaps they think it's fun to pretend the reality is otherwise while they intentionally leave out important information with the intent to deceive.

In other words, we're being lied to. Can you imagine flat-earthers lying to us? Amazing! While they complain that NASA is lying to us.
Maybe this is flat-earthers' way of getting even, or "it's payback time?"
