Flightsfrom.com - Which Airlines Fly to Which Destinations
We (at our company CTI) realised how time consuming it is to figure out what airlines flies to what destinations and when from a certain airport so we made a website to make it simpler.
Please take a look at our first version at www.flightsfrom.com
You'll find:
- All routes from a single airport on a clickable map (example: flightsform.com/FRA)
- Schedules departures between two airports up to 9 months ahead (example: flightsform.com/FRA-HKG
And where do we get feedback if not Flyertalk.com? This first thing that would be interesting is whether the 8 airports listed on the home page is relevant for you? Those under "Airport close to you".
Ofcourse we appriciate all kinds of feedback. And hope you enjoy it!

I hope this is the right board for this post - if not I apologise and an admin should delete it.

Nice website!
Just wondering whether it would make sense to all add a table listing the destinations in addition to the map?
Also, when clicking on a route, maybe the airline could be displayed?
FWIW, I usually use Wikipedia for re-searching all routes from a given airport, so it would probably help if your website offered at least as much information.

I see green, blue and red markers for destination cities, but I can't find the map key anywhere? What do the different colors mean?

Red marker = 1-19 routes
Blue marker = 20-99 routes
Green marker = 100 or more routes

When you click on a route an icon for that airline(s) are to be displayed. We are still adding icons.
What routes are you missing from Wikipedia? I should point out that we do not show chartered flights(or cargo). Only non chartered passenger flights.
Thanks for your comments!

On my homepage it showed my closest airport; PDX. After that though, it showed ATL, ORD, DFW, LAX, and JFK before showing my next actual closest major airport; SEA. Additionally the title of that feature reads "Airport close to you" but then lists 8 airports. It doesn't seem like the title should be singular.
On the map page, I would find it valuable to have the state outlines so I could quickly identify specific airports. That wasn't showing at first glance in my iPad.
Very cool site!

I'll see if we can add the state outlines.

Was very excited when I first came across https://openflights.org/ a couple of years ago, which promised the exact same thing. Turns out it was missing a bunch of routes and was thus useless to me (as the reason I would use such a tool is to find the routes I don't already know exist )
So here's hoping you website will be more useful. Will def try it out soon!
Of the airports relevant to me only one is correct - the city I am currently located. All the others appear to be random as I have no relation to either of them.

My 8 airports start with the 2 closest 2 me, ORD and MDW, but MKE is nowhere to be found. Not sure what your other keys are, but distance should be number 1.
Also, found an error. Was playing on the map and selected ORD-UVF (St. Lucia), then selected "Schedules and More Details"
The next screen came up fine (cute animation of the plane flying the route..), but when I selected "Reverse Route" it throws an error screen.
Captured error data attached.
I tried the reverse route on a could other random routes and it worked fine.

Also, where do you grab your information from? For example, for ROR, there is listed MFM. That is true as there are charter flights, which don't always run, but in general it isn't useful to list charter flights as most of us cannot book those.

Congrats on your launch. Nice site!
Immediate observations (in no particular order):
1a) Aviation geek: Such a cool way to see how connected the world has become. So many long, thin routes thanks to "new aircraft" like the 777 / 787 / A350 (and redeployment of 757 / A321)
1b) Aviation geek: As you capture historical information, will be cool to see how these travel patterns evolve.
2) Business travel: Very cool visualization of all nonstops between 2 city pairs in a given week. I will share this with my admin so she can book optimal flight times for my business trips. I can see more 2 one-ways in my future! To make this even more powerful, would be great if you could add "sort by time" in addition to group by airline.
3) Personal travel: Interesting to see the average flight distances. Never really thought that the flying time between JFK-AUA and JFK-AUS are essentially the same!
4) Would be nice to add a calendar icon so you can go directly to the week you want (rather than having to page over a bunch of times)

2) & 4) Those would be nice features. There is a lot of paging right now I agree.
