We prove that both minimum and maximum traveling salesman problems on complete graphs with edge-distances 1 and 2 are approximable within 3/4. Based upon this result, we improve the standard approximation ratio known for maximum traveling salesman with distances 1 and 2 from 3/4 to 7/8. Finally, we prove that, for any ϵ > 0, it is NP-hard to approximate both problems within better than 5379/5380 + ϵ.
