Global map for flight routes?

Hello,

I am looking for a map-based tool, showing me all major global air routes. I am esp. interested in flight routes in China and Russia.
Last year I found a google-maps-like website for that. Unfortunately, I deleted the link in my browser.

Could someone help me to find that website again.

Thank you.

...and let's move this to Travel Tools, where it'll probably get a better response.

Pretty good, but not always 100% accurate.

My favorite.

Routes are generally accurate. I am not sure who owns or updates the data but I do notice updates occasionally.

I also use the alliance routes, SkyTeam, Star, and Oneworld.

I'm a big fan of ARM. It's a good tool.

It does not show any air routes, like the air routes over China, Russia or Mongolia that airlines may use.

Thanks for your contributions.
However, I am looking for a tool/website which shows me the various air routes (like L888 , which LH uses on its HKG-FRA flights to overfly China).
I am not looking for airline routemaps.

Try https://skyvector.com/.



You can input the departure/arrival airports and even the whole route if you know it and it should trace it out for you. I recommend switching to World-Hi map for long-haul flights. Flightaware seems to give full routes for flights to/from the USA, but perhaps not intra-Asia or Asia-EU. The above image is an actual route from UAL896 from HKG-ORD (VHHH-KORD). I think this is more what you are looking for maybe?
