Q: How does SafeRoutes.online find safe flight routes?

SafeRoutes.online uses real-time travel advisory data from the US State Department and UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) to classify countries by safety level (1-4). It then analyzes a graph of 67,000+ airline routes across 3,400+ airports to find multi-hop flight paths that only transit through countries rated Level 1 (Safe) or Level 2 (Caution), avoiding Level 3 (Reconsider Travel) and Level 4 (Do Not Travel) countries entirely.
