Fly never routes to the closest location

Such is the wild world of Anycast that it could either be the ISP or the infrastructure providers Fly uses that could be causing this.

If it is any solace, I routinely see traffic to Cloudflare’s network (presumably a much bigger Anycast deployment) from Mumbai routinely routed to Amsterdam, Paris, and London instead (unsurprisingly, happens with Fly Anycast, too: Global anycast routed to AMS).
