Building a 3D Flight Route Tool with Claude
vinishkapoor · reddit · 2026-07-16
The author used Claude Opus 4.8 to build a 3D flight route visualization tool: users select multiple cities on an interactive globe to automatically draw routes, displaying total distance, travel time, and layover duration.
They emphasized delegating the Three.js / WebGL implementation entirely to Claude, a task that would have taken weeks to code manually. The post includes a sample route: New York → Dubai → New Delhi → Mumbai, totaling 14,614 km and about 35 hours (including a 4-hour layover).
The author is also soliciting feature suggestions, such as:
- Airport codes
- Airline filters
- Ticket price estimates
