Direct Routes

Interesting and misleading as it relates to 'Direct' routes from Houston to Europe. The only options to draw route maps are 'direct flights' and 'connecting flights'. Direct flights from Houston to Europe show LGW, AMS, CDG (all current non-stop flights) and then MAD, FCO and FRA.

I know the distinction between non-stop and direct flights, but I believe it is misleading to draw a route in a map that goes non-stop between IAH and MAD, FCO and FRA when that option involves a stop changing planes in EWR.

A more accurate choice would be to show 'Non-stop flights'.
