Enter a route using airport IDs such as "DFW-ATL-BOS"

doesn't show ICAO airport identifiers, the search works fine with
them: KDFW-KATL-KBOS.

We didn't point that out, thanks! We try to figure out whatever
identifier is being used. FAA and ICAO...we stopped short of IATA,
that would just be silly.

Because the IDs are in there you can do some international stuff as
well. Try TKI-AUS-BRO-MMMA-MMTM-MMVR-MMMT-MMCP-MMCZ for a route I
flew a few year back in a Grumman Traveler. It's fun for just a
quick route visualization tool as well. DFW-EGLL is Dallas to London,
England if you want to see a big route.

Nice tool. The information is very concise and I don't have to dig it out
of tons of useless info like the Fed tools.

But, please explain again how you determine if an ICAO prefix is
appropriate. For instance: KSFO-PANC does not work. But both SFO-ANC and
KSFO-ANC do work.

Except for the slightly confusing acceptance of the prefix ID, I think this
tool is very useful.

Thanks,
