    Suppose you fly due east. On both a flat earth and a globe earth you would not be flying in a straight line but in a circle around the north pole and so would end up in the same place (assuming the usual flat earth model where the world is like a dinner plate with the north pole at the center). You might check out Eric Dubay's stuff if you have more such questions.
