Where These Numbers Come From
Every route in these tables is checked against the schedule snapshot behind our route pages, so a route appears only if the airline flies it; distance and flight time are the same estimates those pages use. The evidence column says how we know first class is on it: "Desk library" is Biirdee's own carrier and aircraft reference, updated September 2026; "Ticketed by Biirdee" means our desk has issued first class tickets on that airline there between November 2024 and September 2026; "Award scan" means our award scanners have seen first class seats released on it; "Fare scan" means our fare scans have priced a first class fare on the nonstop. Data as of 23 September 2026.
A flight counts for Miami when one end is Miami and at least one of those sources shows first class on it; fifth-freedom sectors count for the US city they serve. Fares are median published round-trip fares per person from our 2026 fare scans. Award prices are what our scanners recorded, not chart rates.
