flight map

Airborne journey chart

A flight map is a visual representation of aircraft routes, showing paths between airports or tracking a specific flight's progress.

Airlines display flight maps on seatback screens so passengers can follow their journey: The flight map showed we were somewhere over Greenland.

Travel websites use flight maps to display available routes and connections.
