I've rewritten the PDF schedule scraper, so hopefully SLF can get up the new schedule data soon.
This data is from the latest (July 4) oneworld PDF schedule.
Thanks hauteboy
I've incorporated the DB into a new version (0.95020) which is available on the beta page. If all goes to plan, I'll move it to the regular page within a week.
Note: there is a known problem - the feature which tells you which cabins are available on each segment isn't working (yet). If you need this feature then please stick with 0.95019 for now.
Also - I haven't checked for the discrepancies reported by goback, Mwenenzi and Wasabi Tofu above - thanks for these reports, I'll try to follow up on these shortly and see if the new DB has fixed these automatically
When you're using the google map, if you click on the red marker at the airport, you will now see a "Starwood" link - if you click that, it opens a new window with a search for Starwood hotels near that airport. Currently available in the 0.95020 beta version only.
I was just playing around with a potential itinenaries for our trip and tried e.g. something like JNB-MRU-LHR-ARN-LHR-DFW-HNL-NRT-HKG-AKL-SYD-LHR-CDG-LHR-NBO -- two "stops" in Europe. While the route is presumably fine (four flights in EUR), the ..LHR-CDG-LHR-.. is just transits.
Perhaps MM could indicate the parts of a route when only transit is possible?

Transits and stop overs in the starting continent are different for everyone. MM does show Asia transits on SWP ex/to Eu, Eu transits ex/to Africa & US transits ex/to South America
Thanks - I've correctly located both LEN & ABC, but I've disallowed BCN-ABC due to the fact it seems to be operated by Denim Air who aren't a OW affiliate.
Done, thanks.
Since both BCN-LEN and BCN-ABC are marketed by Iberia with an 8xxx flight numbers through their affiliate Air Nostrum, I think these would be allowed within a ONEWORLD ticket. LEN is Leon in north-central Spain and ABC is Albacete in south-eastern Spain. All Air Nostrum flights are ticketed as IB8XXX and Air Nostrum is an accepted OW affiliate. I think the Denim Air reference is to indicate it is operating the aircraft under a wet-lease agreement with Air Nostrum. Does that disqualify it? I believe I've earned AA miles on Air Nostrum flights such as this before so that leads me to believe these flights are eligible.

Denim Air is a extra capacity provider from the Netherlands. Air Nostrum has been contracting Denim Air from their first flight under a wet-lease contract, which means that (small) a part of the aircrafts of Air Nostrum (some of the Dash-8) belong to Denim Air, that also is in charge of contracting the pilots (but not the FAs), that usually are non-Spaniards (the majority are from Holland or from Belgium). This wet-lease helps Air Nostrum to deal with the demand as they can cut/increase temporary/permanently some aircrafts when they need it without having to hire / sack its own employees.
The "friendship" between both carriers is very deep. Now Air Nostrum has reduced considerably the weight of Denim Air, but some years ago Air Nostrum was by far one of the most important clients of Denim Air. So much that Air Nostrum bought the company and when they didn't need them that much, they sold it back to private investors from their home country.
Denim Air is not part of OneWorld, indeed, but it's not a codeshare but a wet-lease (by this I mean that the operator just follows the instructions of Air Nostrum). Denim Air "looses" its personality when they operate for Air Nostrum. The aircrafts have full Air Nostrum colours, service, interiors, etc..., and they carry the OneWorld tag.
Therefore, a Denim Air is a 100% Air Nostrum flight and there you earn points as if you had flown Air Nostrum.
