Route Map Error?
 

I was on a long CO flight yesterday and was looking at the Dec. Continental magazine. They have a new route map in the back to reflect Star Alliance.

When I look at the domestic map, there are a bunch of yellow dots (Selected Airline Partner Destinations) in Washington state. I think these are the old Horizon (Alaska) code-sharing cities which are now gone.

Specifically, I'm familiar with YKM. It is serviced only by Horizon with the flights code-shared with DL, NW, AA, KLM but not CO and not UA. So no code-share and Alaska is no longer a partner, that yellow dot should disappear from the map.

The same may be true for some of those other dots here - I'm just not familiar with their current status as I am with YKM.

At first I thought this was Kamloops, BC that is served by AC which would make it a valid dot.

However, that's YKA not YKM! I think you're correct. The dot should disappear. I think it'll be a while before they iron the bugs out of the map.

Agreed, though I generally feel that for purposes of clarity, airline route maps should not include "code-share" destinations at all, at least not for domestic (U-S) destinations. For one thing it's harder to ensure accuracy, and for another it makes the map cluttered.

on the new map, many of these partner cities don't show routes, just have the cities highlighted

Correct. The airline should show its routes (lines between cities) but only show dots for its partners' destinations. CO does that. Conversely, NW showed lines for itself and all partners. What a mess! Not sure what DL does now that it subsumed NW.

I get frustrated when I look at AA's...they only show dots, so I have no idea where they fly from where. And last time I checked airlineroutemaps.com wasn't up-to-date.

+2 on showing lines for your routes and just dots for code-share destinations.
