the OAG that I’m using for reference shows the two most distant cities with nonstop service to BHM at ~600 miles, just a bit farther than ORD which is 586 miles

Frankly, I am skeptical that there was a Dublin Beirut route.

4A- ORD incorrect, UA incorrect, 737 incorrect
4B- SNN incorrect, DUB incorrect, EI incorrect —
