I think FB uses different thresholds from the published ones and/or different distance formula.

Overall a great tool anyhow.
When I put CDG-DXB into the flyingblue.us simulator, I get long 1.

BOS-CDG/AMS are now added to the override list as long 2.

The override list as of this post is:

CDG-BEY: Long 1
CDG-CAI: Long 1
AMS-BOS: Long 2
CDG-BOS: Long 2

If anyone finds more, please post them in this thread and I will update the tool.
