Therefore, I am going to list the hub / focus city of major airlines in North America in this article to give you more information. I believe it is really important to know which hub airport or focus airport of airlines you are close by since knowing this information could help you plan your travel if you need to buy air tickets / use your miles to redeem for air tickets. I recently stayed in 11 different IBIS hotels in 11 different European cities.Lots of readers who are new to points & miles world are sometimes confused of how to plan their travel because they don't know which route they should fly. Anyone remember the poster sized UA routemap that were in the seatbacks? I especially like the TW route map that described the various sites to be seen on particular routes. There was a time not too long ago, at least in my memory, where an airline wouldn't think of NOT publishing a route map. Kudos to Ryanair, Volareweb, Aloha and easyJet, very good and easy to use maps, like this one from Southwest. If I am snagged in the marketing net, and I take the time of going to a website, why NOT show me the places I can get to? Very frustrating. I absolutely detest the "sqaures, diamonds, circles" and whatever, used to take the place of a 'real' route map. I wonder why still so many airlines fail to properly publish a working routemap on their websites. When checking out an airline, a route map is the first thing I look for, it gives me a quick snapshot of what a particular airline is like. ![]() Good to see the route map back at Southwest! Too much going on for one page in a magazine.Īll the overseas airlines have great route maps in their inflight magazines. I think if American tried to post a route map they'd run into the same problem, especially on the East Coast.ĭelta still posts excellent route maps in Sky magazine, although as they've turned more and more flying over to Delta Connection, the mainline route map is looking more and more pathetic (the DFW hub only has about twenty mainline routes left - it looks like a focus city on the map!)ĭelta, Northwest and Continental have all started showing each other's routes on their respective maps, and it's become a mess. For instance, US Airways has a route map in its Attache inflight magazine, but their East Coast routes are so dense that you can really follow any of the lines. I like the actual route maps too, but in some cases it just becomes too complicated. ![]() Southwest's Spirit magazine also used to show the routes, but now just has a map with each city labeled on it. Now, only the *new* routes are shown on the timetable map. This stopped a few years ago when the route network became so dense and complicated that it was too hard to read. Southwest used to display a route map on the back of their timetables. ![]()
