FlightMemory exporter
I have created a tool to export your flights from flightmemory.com into the openflights CSV format. This allows you to migrate your flightmemory.com data to openflights.org, or at least keep them in sync.
Please see: http://goo.gl/Jn6uF
The typical way to do this is to go through each page of your flightmemory.com flightdata, save a copy of each page, then manually upload each one to openflights.org (what a pain!). Note that flightdiary.net can import from openflights.org, but not from flightmemory.com, so perhaps this is an easier way to also go from flightmemory.com to flightdiary.net.

Hi, I love your exporter, but some things are unfortunately not working properly:
- "Date": The departure date format is wrong: "-03.03.2013- 23:55" (your format) vs. "2013-03-03 23:55:00" (openflights csv format)
- "Registration": It does not seem to export the Airplane registration.
- "Note": Also the comments are not exported completely but seem to be chopped off by some letters. This is inconsistent, though: Sometimes things are cut, sometimes not...
Can you fix these issues? Your tool right now is the easiest and best way to export flightmemory data to flightdiary.

Many thanks to initforthelonghaul! We've exchanged a few PM and using my FM data to debug, the tool now exports registration numbers and no longer truncates the comments field. ^^
I enjoyed using FlightMemory as a premium member, but the lack of data export always bothered me, so I dropped my subscription last year. Thanks to this tool I now have my data in a spreadsheet instead of a PDF file.

Is there a simpler way to upload to openflights from FlightMemory? The above link does not work, and I can't seem to find anything via a search. Would love to transfer over the date without having to retype everything.

I used the method referred to in the OP (printing out each FlightMemory page and importing each page into OpenFlights). Have you given that a try?

For what it is worth, the OP's last activity on FlyerTalk was on July 16, 2013.
I Googled and found this link to download the the tool, however, it is more than four years old (April 7, 2013), I have no idea if that link still works or whether it is safe.

iOS app Boarding Pass Custodian offers FlightMemory import
can't post URL's here, so here's an excerpt from Appstore description: iOS app "Boarding Pass Custodian" offers FlightMemory import (besides scanning boarding passes and manual input of flights) and displays flown routes on a 3D globe
