flash as at the south pole and Parker is at the north pole with santa
flash is about to ram parker from the other side of the earth. does spider man get to react to his spidey sense right before flash starts going at him ?
or does parker get to jump up in the air and avoid flash before arriving or does he get owned ?

Well spidey dodges lasers and other light speed objects because he moves out of the way BEFORE they are fired. If they are fired before Spidey has moved then spidey is a dead duck.
If Spidey moves before Flash starts then by the time Flash gets there he will change his direction to match where spidey is at the current location.
Thus spidey is a dead duck.
In summary, Spidey can dodge only dumb light speed attacks, not smart changing seeking ones.
but let say spidey just doesnt dodge and move out of the way. what if he jumps up in the air the sec spidey sense go off before right before flash comes.
Depending on the level and speed of the attack Spidey's sense warns him
in ENOUGH time to get out of the way. For examples, Spidey's sense can go off AFTER a bullet fires. Because it knows Spidey can still dodge. But for lasers it warns spidey a split second before they are fired.
With that said, if Spidey jumps in the air BEFORE Flash moves then he dodges (assuming flash will only travel to the spot where spidey was on the ground). Remember, depending on how fast the attack the more head start the Spidey sense will give him.
If spidey jumps at the same time flash starts then spidey is a dead duck. Is this is what you want to hear?
Spider-sense should warn him before Flash starts running due to how quickly Flash would get there, unless there's a distance limitation to SS (we don't know either way, but it wouldn't surprise me if there were). But obviously Flash can change direction and hit him easily. So Spidey would only dodge if Flash was forced to move in a straight line and not alter his course.
I think spider sense warns him if he is in danger.
Its not a matter of "can the spidey sense detect flash".Its a matter of "can parker jump once his spidey sense goes off in the time it takes flash to travel the world"

As good as the spider-sense is, it has it's limits. The Flash thinks, reacts, and moves far faster than Spider-Man. In this case, it might warn Spidey that he's about to be hit, but he'll be lucky to have enough time to brace for it, and that's a big if.
Indeed. Clearly if Flash starts moving before SS warns Pete, or even as it's warning him, he's screwed 9 ways from Sunday. Flash will be there in a few milliseconds. 1-2 seconds before an attack isn't unreasonable for SS though, and there's confirmed evidence of that rough timeframe for SS warnings, so I think it's possible.
And again, Flash can alter his course, but for this to have any meaning I'm assuming he only goes in a striahgt line.
sure wally can change directions for sure but what if spidey were to jump in the air the second spidey sense goes off.
another question is would spidey know to jump when his spidey sense is alerting him especially from that distance. maybe he would be just looking around like WTF is about to happen.
and of course even if he makes the jump and wally misses charging him the second spidey lands he is owned. but this is mainly about how accurate is his spidey sense and him knowing what to do at a time like this from the start.
You gotta remember, though, Flash can hit good speed from standing still, so he doesn't really need to pick up a sufficient amount of speed.
That's IF Spidey makes it off of the ground before Flash hits him. And even if he did make the jump, there's nothing stopping Flash from throwing a brick or anything on hand at super-speed while Spidey's in mid-jump.
