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.

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?
