San Francisco (SFO) has the highest verified share in this batch: 15 of its 25 tracked destinations, 60 percent, carry a verified historical direct-service record. That's all 9 domestic U.S. pairs plus 6 of the 16 international ones — every Canadian city except Ottawa, London Heathrow, and, notably, Sydney.
Sydney is the standout here: it's the only Australian pair, out of 5 tracked from San Francisco, with a verified nonstop record, reflecting the real long-running SFO–Sydney widebody service that several other U.S. gateways in this dataset simply don't show to Australia. Outside of that one route, the pattern is familiar — strong domestic and Canadian coverage, one confirmed UK anchor in Heathrow, and everything else, Glasgow to Melbourne to Perth, unverified and best treated as a connection-routed distance reference.
All 9 of San Francisco's domestic pairs are verified, from a 0.6-hour hop to Los Angeles up to a 5.1-hour run to Boston, with Atlanta showing the most historical carriers at 11.

15 of San Francisco's 25 tracked connections carry a verified historical operating record, the highest count in this batch — all 9 domestic pairs, 4 of 5 Canadian cities, London Heathrow, and Sydney, which stands out as the only verified nonstop Australian route among the U.S. gateways covered in this dataset.
OpenFlights' historical route dataset records 11 carriers operating this city pair, flying 73G, 73W, Boeing 737-800 and other types. It's the best-served pair in San Francisco's whole tracked network — still confirm current-day operation and schedule in your GDS before quoting, since this dataset reflects historical service, not a live timetable.
