I sent an e-mail to the makers of the star-alliance timetable program (they also do CO and AA and some others) asking about their file format. I threatened to reverse engineer it if they don't tell me, or to give them credit on the site if they do give me the info.

Once I have the file format, it should be easy to plot the routes using just about any map server like Xerox Parc (used by the great circle mapper).

Here are the features I would like to include in version 1.0:

- ability to select / deselect airlines and/or alliances to appear on the map
- ability to select / deselect domestic and international flights
- ability to pan/zoom/etc on maps.
- ability to click on an airport to get more details
- ability to click on a route to get more details

anybody have additional features they would like to see?
