> This is a map that shows the distance you can travel in a given length of time, and the first one was created in 1881 showing travel times from London.

The first item on the article, the first thing it showed, was wrong though.

It is 100% faster to go from London to New York in 1881 than Volgagrad. Or any of the Russian hinterland colored green or Turkey or Egypt.

yeah the original map was not for this purpose. Though I would say there are heavy assumption made for 2026 too, namely the flights are available immediately upon demand.
