Pick an airport to see its network, filter by airline or aircraft, and open a route's calendar of confirmed upgrade and award availability where 2LNR tracks it. Searching one city pair at a time hides routes you didn't know existed. The map shows the network we cover at once, so you can plan around where upgrades clear. Browsing it is free and needs no account.

Hover a route for flight frequency, aircraft type, and the cabins available on that service, and every path reflects who actually operates the metal. ### Upgrade calendar overlay A 12-month heatmap per route, month by month and day by day, with segment-level seat counts. The overlay is included with Pro; the map itself is free to browse. ### Connection finder Enter an origin and destination to see the viable connections through the network's hubs. Each option shows total travel time, layover duration, and the upgrade availability profile for each leg independently. ### Aircraft & cabin details Not all business class is the same. Filter routes by aircraft type to find lie-flat seats, direct aisle access, or the specific product you want, and see which routes fly widebody vs. narrowbody equipment. ### Schedule calendar Day-by-day schedules with equipment and frequency for any route, so you can see how often a city pair flies, and on what aircraft, before you commit to a date. ### Matrix integration Found a promising route? One click takes you to the upgrade matrix to see real-time availability. The route map is where you discover; the matrix is where you confirm. ## Who uses the route map ### Points and miles enthusiasts You plan trips around value, finding routes where upgrades are confirmable and premium cabins have the best product. The route map shows the routings you'd miss searching one city pair at a time. ### Flexible travelers You have the freedom to route creatively. Maybe DFW-NRT via LAX has better upgrade odds than the nonstop. The route map shows the options so you can trade a short layover for a confirmed front cabin. ## Frequently asked questions **What routes does the route map cover?** The map draws the nonstop routes 2LNR has captured in its own schedule data: a multi-carrier network spanning domestic and international flying, not one airline's map. Coverage is what 2LNR has captured rather than every route flown worldwide, so a very small or newly launched carrier may be thin. The upgrade availability overlay covers American, Delta and Alaska; award availability spans more than 20 airlines in Award search. **How are upgrade trends shown?** The overlay shows collected availability observations for each route and date, refreshed continuously. It is the same data behind the upgrade matrix, not a prediction. **Can I filter routes by connection count or travel time?** Yes. The map filters routes by number of stops, flight time, distance, airline, alliance and aircraft type. For a city pair, the connection finder builds one- and two-stop options and shows each layover and the total travel time. **Does the map show real-time availability or collected data?** The map's calendar shows collected availability by date.
