nsflight.com lists nonstop domestic destinations for US airports, and the number of flights per month. With routes always changing it is far from perfect. Hopefully it will still be a useful resource for travelers wishing to get a rough idea of where they can fly to nonstop.

A delayed response, but thanks for this thread. It is particularly useful for using upgrades or planning quick trips. For instance, I wanted to use systemwide upgrades from United but didn’t want to go to Europe–it actually took work to figure out what our options were. (We picked Japan!) We’re also expecting our first kid and non-stop flights will be particularly key.

What I don’t understand is why the airlines don’t make the information available. Would it be that hard to add a user-defined route map?

I have recently been on the SAA flight from IAD to JNB. The flight leaving North America was nonstop. Upon our return, we stopped in Dakar, Senegal (DKR), for refueling and to pick up passengers. Not sure if this is common practice, or if they only do it when they have passengers to pick up/drop off.

I’ve been collating the timetable from Star Alliance and Oneworld for a while now and run a Google maps app that only shows direct and single hop flights :

If you just enter a starting point (or an end point) it will ONLY show the DIRECT (single hop) flights from that city.

It wouldn’t take that much work to combine all the timetables into a single map if people are interested.

Singapore was his best guess for an airport with flights to five continents. Johannesburg his second guess.

“Singapore was my best guess [for an airport with flights to five continents], but I can’t find a non-stop to South America. Perhaps Johannesburg?”

I don’t understand this statement. Johannesburg is in Africa not South America.

First off, thanks, Rick for chiming in here. Your site already rocks, but this would be a great little feature to add. So let me second RoadWarrior’s comments.

You’ll find SQ, TG, CX offering flights to all five continents, I guess - out of SIN, BKK and HKG.

Rick,

You are half-way there. You just need to integrate all the airlines. I am a software engineer, this is a simple job. It should not take more than a couple of days.

If you offer it, this would a very sexy service

You’re quite right about SYD-LHR.

I’m pretty sure that SAA offers (perhaps offered!) a direct to Johannesburg; I nearly booked it not too long ago. I vaguely remember a technical stop one way (Accra, or Guinea, perhaps?).
