They have two corridors, essentially North Western from South Asia to North Western Asia and potentially Eastern Europe. Or, South Western into the Indian Ocean.
I would find it remarkable that this jet could fly over a continental land mass and not get the attention of the military of the countries it flew over. This would be an Unidentified aircraft, if showed up on military radar surely they would investigate?
This would lead me to believe it went South, to where? No idea.

Or the aircraft routed North and managed to fly uncontested into foreign airspace in which case there would be face to save around why air defence capability didn't pick it up, or indeed the competence of atc were the aircraft to remain on an established airway without SSR.
