Finding airline routes

[d000hg]

I'm trying to determine what direct routes exist between destinations I'd like to visit, and struggling to find this information. All my searches come back with booking forms which may just show me indirect flights or "sorry, no direct flights" but I don't want to book, I just want some sort of directory saying what direct links fly between where, and who operates them.

Does this resource exist somewhere, not tied to the websites of each airport and operator, so I can just type in "Bristol" and it will show me all the routes?

I've looked for this and never found it; only per airport.

That website gives really good prices but doesn't actually seem to sell the tickets, directing me instead to the airline's website.

Try:

Matrix is good. Try flights.Google.com and then discover destinations

Not sure exactly what you want but this thread BA Tier Point runs | 2014 master thread - FlyerTalk Forums
I had book marked on my browser as it was a way to game the airmiles / tier points for BA & it's affililiates.

In there somewhere was a couple of links to some planning sites that allowed you to put flight combinations together and so had the routes.

I got the impression you were looking for a database of all routes from all airports in one place. ??
