It's amazing the routes that BOAC used to operate. Most were fairly
obvious, being based around the old Empire like this one - Jamaica/New
York/London. Even Tokyo/Hong Kong/Singapore/Seychelles/Johannesburg was
faintly understandable but the one that I never really worked out was
Tokyo/Honolulu/San Francisco.

Then there are all the segments they no longer operate largely because of
higher traffic levels on longer range aircraft. The first time I went to
India the routing was London/Rome/Tehran/Delhi/Tehran/Beirut/Rome/London
and they had traffic rights on all those sectors. These days they're all
non-stop.
