Near a warning area · Weak reroute options · Significant extra time

The only Istanbul to Singapore option that avoids the Middle East warning area on both legs. Goes northeast through Central Asia to Hong Kong, then south. Much longer, but cleaner airspace.

How we score routes

We score each route based on whether it flies near or through warning areas, how much longer it is, and how many reroute options exist — based on official flight warnings.

Some routes aren't covered yet — if yours is missing, that's a gap, not an assessment.

Scores compare route options; they are not safety ratings. Always check with your airline before booking.
