The flight mapbehind the globe
Every aircraft on the TAB* globe flies one of these real city pairs, between real airports. Distances are great-circle; block times are estimates at a long-range cruise, not a published timetable.

Great-circle distance is computed from published airport coordinates. Block time adds 35 minutes for taxi, climb and descent to the cruise leg.
The same route can carry a different identifier in every system that touches it. That is the work TAB* members do together.
