Sim Routes
Route Planner for Flight Sim
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Find your next flight on a map. Pan anywhere in the world, search the area you're looking at. Tap an airport to see everywhere it flies, or an airline for its network.
Sim Routes is a flight planning app for flight simulator pilots who want to discover real-world airline routes, explore airports and destinations, and plan better virtual flights.
Browse a large database of routes, airlines, and airports on a world map to find inspiration for your next trip. Use filters to narrow flights by the type of experience you want, whether you are looking for a short regional hop, a longer international sector, or new places to explore in your simulator.
Sim Routes also helps you stay organised with schedule building tools that let you plan multiple flights ahead. When you are ready to fly, launch directly into SimBrief for faster dispatch and flight planning.
As you fly, your Pilot Profile tracks your progress over time, including logged flights, airports visited, countries reached, distance flown, and more.
With Sim Routes, you can:
- Explore real-world airline routes
- Discover airports, airlines, and destinations
- Build personalised flight schedules
- Launch flights with SimBrief integration
- Track progress with your Pilot Profile
There is also a daily route guessing game, if you want something to do between flights.
Whether you fly casually or want a more structured flight sim experience, Sim Routes makes it easier to decide where to fly next, plan your sessions, and keep building your virtual pilot journey.
Sim Routes is free to use. SimRoutes Pro is a one-time purchase that unlocks the flight scheduler, unlimited favourites, your full logbook and stats, game progress tracking, and removes ads.

What's New in 1.4.0
Routes is now a map.
Open the Routes tab and you get the world instead of a list. Pan and zoom anywhere you want to fly, then tap Search this area to load the routes crossing the view in front of you. Routes are drawn as arcs between their airports — tap one to open its details.
- Search this area. Turns the visible map into your route query.
- Your flown routes. With no search running, the map draws your recent flights instead of a browsing sample.
- Airport layer. Overlay airports worldwide, thinned by zoom so it stays readable at any scale. Tap one to see everywhere it flies.
- Airline networks. Filter to an airline and its routes appear drawn across the map, rather than as a list of rows.
- Everything you've saved, on the map. Tap the star for your saved routes drawn as arcs, with your favourite airports marked alongside them.
- Exclude airports. A new filter that drops any route touching the airports you name, at either end — useful for finding an airline's flying away from its hubs.
Plus faster map drawing, sharper typography for codes and times, and a redesigned tab bar.
Hope you enjoy this new update with many more features to come soon!
