No scheduled commercial flights over fly the South Pole since there are no great circle routes in use which do so. Flights from New Zealand to South Africa would fly over Antarctica but no airline currently flies that route.

It must be one of those "‘everyone knows’ things, like that apples float in water because they're less dense than the water, unlike a rock, which might have served Newton better.
