# The flight log video: animate every flight you've taken - **URL**: https://routeflick.com/blog/flight-log-map-video --- [<- All articles](https://routeflick.com/blog) Inspiration - 4 min read **RouteFlick Editorial**Product guide from the team building RouteFlick Published July 20, 2026Updated October 5, 2026 Avgeeks keep lists: every flight, every registration, every airport code. A flight log video turns the list into the thing it always wanted to be -- a globe wrapped in great-circle arcs, each one drawn in order, the total distance climbing past 'around the world' as it plays. About this guide and its evidence Published by RouteFlick, the maker of the product described here. This is first-party guidance, not an independent review. Route previews are actual exports. An example route illustrates a workflow; it does not prove every feature or a competitor's output. Export speed depends on your device. Creator workflow and comparison documentation reviewed October 5, 2026. Named vendor sources support the documented facts; this is not a purchased-plan test or an export-speed benchmark.

Add each airport city as a stop, in the order flown, with every leg set to flight. 2. Out-and-back trips work naturally -- add the return and the arc retraces home. 3. Title card: "2026 in the air" with your flight count and total distance as the subtitle. ## Why it looks right here Flights render as true great-circle arcs on a 3D globe -- the polar-adjacent routing on a long-haul actually curves the way the flight did, which flat-map tools can't show. The Satellite map style plus the aircraft vehicle gets you closest to the window-seat view. ## Recaps worth making - The year recap: every flight of 2026 in one continuous animation. - The milestone: your 100th flight, or the trip that crossed a million miles. - The route deep-dive: one favourite long-haul, slowed to 0.5x, as a pure appreciation post. - The airline-status flex: the segments that earned the tier, counted in distance badges. 💡 Emoji labels take airport codes: name the stops JFK, HND, DXB and add ✈ per stop for the clean logbook look.
