Back when Flight maps looked detailed and well designed instead of boring and informative. If you want to look at the map in even higher resolution, it’s available here.

What are dashed lines, as what is the difference between solid and dashed routes? Frequency?
My problem with this map is plane routes don’t look straight on Mercator projection. The routes are rhumb lines on this map, but intercontinental flights use routes on the great circle, which should look like arcs.
It’s not clearly stated on the map. I suspect dashed lines are either infrequent ones or lines served by partner companies.
I realise that modern maps are better at conveying the information that they are supposed to conves. But these older ones just look like adventure - more like an advertisement than purely informational.
