I don't know the routes but I believe that when flying near to the poles, the radiation levels are higher than near to the equator.

I also understand that this is an issue for air crews and that the exposure levels even for frequent flyers is considered negligible compared with regular exposure. You have to spend many 100s of hours in the air each year for this to even start to be relevant.

I'd be interested to hear more on this topic.
