How It Works
All Routes is a flight route discovery platform inspired by FlightConnections. Explore direct and connecting routes, airline networks, and alliance coverage through an interactive map and directory interface.
Choose your starting path
Use the decision cards below to jump straight to the workflow that matches your current trip constraint.
I know my origin airport but not my destination yet
Start with outbound airport coverage to identify nonstop reach first, then compare one-stop backups only where they materially improve options.
I must arrive at one specific destination airport
Work backward from inbound coverage to reveal feeder markets, carrier density, and resilient backup origins before fare shopping.
I care most about alliance and points strategy
Compare alliance route-map depth first, then open member-airline pages for hub overlap and fallback options on your target regions.
Route research sequence (7-minute workflow)
If you want one reliable order of operations, run this sequence top-to-bottom before checking live fares.
1) Confirm airport codes
Start with exact airport codes so your route comparisons use the right metro airport pair from the beginning.
Open Airport Codes →2) Scan outbound coverage
Use flights-from pages to establish nonstop baseline options before adding stopover complexity.
Open Flights From example →3) Validate inbound resilience
Check flights-to pages for the destination side so return and fallback options are visible early.
Open Flights To example →4) Pressure-test one city pair
Open the route page to compare direct vs one-stop tradeoffs with timetable context in one place.
Open city-pair example →5) Compare alliance fallback
Use alliance maps to avoid brittle plans that depend on a single carrier path.
Open alliance map →Route Discovery
Start by choosing an origin airport. You'll see all outbound routes available from that location, with distance, duration, and airline details. Add a destination to narrow results to a specific city pair, including both direct and stopover options.
Key Features:
- Search by city, airport name, or IATA/ICAO code
- Filter by airline, alliance, or maximum stopover count
- Sort routes by duration, distance, or popularity
- View timetable data and flight numbers when available
Visual Map View
Switch to map view to see routes rendered geographically. Arc layers connect origin and destination airports, with color-coding by airline or alliance. Adjust the max-stop filter to show direct flights only or include one-stop and two-stop connections.
The map updates dynamically as you refine filters, giving you a live visual understanding of network coverage, hub concentration, and routing patterns.
Alliance Networks
Compare global coverage across major airline alliances: oneworld, SkyTeam, and Star Alliance. Filter by alliance to see combined member airline networks, helpful for frequent-flyer program planning and codeshare route discovery.
Data & Coverage
Our dataset includes airport codes, city names, route segments, airline metadata, and timetable snapshots. Data is sourced from public aviation databases and updated regularly. Coverage includes both scheduled commercial flights and cargo-passenger hybrid services.
Timetable availability varies by source; some routes may show historical or cached flight numbers. For live booking and pricing, please consult airline websites or travel booking platforms.
Directory Pages
Beyond the interactive map, All Routes offers paginated directory pages for browsing:
- Airport Codes — searchable IATA/ICAO index with city and country context
- Airports by Country — country-level directory with hub highlights
- Airlines — comprehensive airline listing with alliance membership and route counts
Each directory entry links directly to route map pages, enabling quick drill-down from high-level browsing to specific route exploration.
Starter workflows
If you are not sure where to begin, pick one workflow based on your trip constraint and follow the linked pages in order.
Origin-first trip planning
Best when your departure airport is fixed and you want to shortlist nonstop options before considering one-stop backups.
Destination feasibility check
Best when destination is fixed and you need to compare feeder origins, airline density, and contingency options.
Alliance-aware loyalty planning
Best when points, lounge access, and partner redundancy matter more than a single-carrier fare snapshot.
Use Cases
Trip Planning
Find alternative routing options when direct flights aren't available, or compare stopover cities for multi-leg journeys.
Frequent Flyer Programs
Explore alliance networks to maximize earning and redemption opportunities across partner carriers.
Aviation Research
Analyze route coverage, airline market share, and geographic connectivity patterns for academic or industry insights.
Route Curiosity
Discover obscure routes, compare hub efficiency, or satisfy curiosity about global aviation networks.
Pre-booking comparison checklist
- Verify the exact airport code pair before comparing routes.
- Evaluate nonstop baseline first; use one-stop only when it clearly improves timing, price, or loyalty value.
- Check alliance continuity when lounge access, bags, or mileage earning matters.
- Validate final schedule and fare rules directly with airlines or booking channels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does All Routes include direct and connecting flights?
Yes. Use the Max Stops filter to switch between direct-only results and one-stop/two-stop connections.
Can I explore by airline alliance?
Yes. Dedicated alliance pages help you compare combined network coverage across oneworld, SkyTeam, and Star Alliance.
How do I research a specific airport quickly?
Start on Airport Codes, then compare flights-from and flights-to pages for the same airport pattern.
Can I use this for loyalty program planning?
Yes. Combine alliance route maps with airline pages to see where partner carriers overlap before choosing where to credit flights.
