OpenSky can include multiple stops in a route (per call sign), but LiveTraffic only shows first and last as origin and destination.
The US has 2-legged "turnaround" jobs which end where they started like DAL2716=KATL-KGSP-KATL, which makes LiveTraffic show KATL for both origin and destination.
Suggested Solution
Show the full route. All stops are transferred in the route array of the API response.
