map?
Where can I find a map of all Star Alliance destinations and routes? Does such a thing exist? The International map in the united in-flight magazines leaves out a lot of destinations e.g. quite a few served by SAS

The Star Alliance ATW software also is very useful to determine which partner flies between specific city pairs. There is one catch if you are on an award ticket, sometimes *A's use code shares on non member airlines. An example is Verig's flight to Cape Town, which is actually operated by South African.
This will be solved shortly (maybe) when SAA joines *A.

To the administrators: Do you think we could make a sticky somewhere and post all the links to every star alliance route map. Some are quite difficult to find, and I suspect a lot of people might want to see a collection of maps to figure how best to spend their miles...

Dynamic or static will work really. As long as we can compile links to visual representations of where we can fly on star alliance carriers.

This has been my screensaver for about a year or so. You can set it in two versions. One is "accelerated" and shows little dots on a world map that move to show where the flights are, one for each flight. The other option is "normal speed" and this shows the same little dots along with random flights as a line between two destinations along with the airline/flight# info. Really quite cool. It also shows the number of flights "in the air". I have no idea how this is generated, but suspect it must be based schedule info rather than actual real time.
The accelerated version is fun as it shows flights arriving and departing the various hubs. For example, the early morning period shows all the flights departing FRA, then they all come back home in late afternoon/evening. The normal speed version has taught me alot about where *alliance flies.
