Some of those routes are simply chosen because they go over the pole, but there is simply no demand for say
Cape Town to/from the Falkland Islands! Though, a RAF Hercules has flown direct from Perth to the Falkland Islands.
Other airlines between South Africa and South America use different cities and
as far as I know there is a New Zealand Airlines flight from Aukland to Buenos Aires.
Sure most offlights do not exist:
Why? simply because QANTAS chooses to fly from Sydney and not Hobart or Perth, because those cities are too small to provide enough traffic.
And they fly to Santiago (not Buenos Aires) and Johannesburg (and not Cape Town).
Why, better ask QANTAS that one, but probably because those places are a little closer on the Globe!
These are the relevant flights. Bothof these are in the east-to-west direction, the corresponding west-to-east flights are usually at least an hour shorter.
But QANTAS definitely flies these as non-stop direct regular flights!

The shortest routes do not even go very close to Antarctica, let alone the South Pole.
Apart there being no commercial requirement, a big reason for avoiding Antarctic flights is simply the safety aspects:
1) It is extremely cold and the freezing of fuel can be (has been) a problem and
2) Flights over Antarctica are a long distance from any rescue centres, especially during winter. Any flights must carry a specified number of Polar Survival Suits.

Atlantean Conspiracy, 200 proofs earth is not spinning #44)
If Earth was a ball, and Antarctica was too cold to fly over, the only logical way to fly from Sydney to Santiago would be a straight shot over the Pacific staying in the Southern hemisphere the entire way. Re-fueling could be done in New Zealand or other Southern hemisphere destinations along the way if absolutely necessary. In actual fact, however, Santiago-Sydney flights go into the Northern hemisphere making stop-overs at LAX and other North American airports before continuing back down to the Southern hemisphere. Such ridiculously wayward detours make no sense on the globe but make perfect sense and form nearly straight lines when shown on a flat Earth map.
Eric Dubay claims that "
In actual fact, however, Santiago-Sydney flights go into the Northern hemisphere making stop-overs at LAX and other North American airports before continuing back down to the Southern hemisphere. "
In this he is completely wrong.
I hesitate to claim someone is lying, but the contrary evidence is so easily available that
he has to be intentionally trying to deceive us.It is possible that when he wrote that flights were different, but there have been direct flights from Australia to/from both South America and South Africa for a very long time. Earlier some South African flights left from Perth.
