This was discussed at length when these changes were communicated back in late 2012. Many of us were confused as to why a new category for 11000+ miles was created since there are no city pairs in AC's network that are over 11000 miles apart. City pairs like SYD-LHR are well below 11000 miles as it is based on great circle mileage between the O&D, not the sum of miles required for the specific routing flown. The new chart led to much speculation of new destinations such as JNB which could create new city pairs being more than 11000 miles apart using the great circle.
