Added my flights, too and added a few airports along the way.

One issue I encountered: I have a flight from Basel/Mulhouse/Freiburg Airport. This airport has both the MLH and BSL IATA codes. In flightmemory, I have it recorded as BSL. Openflights did not have BSL, but MLH. I added in BSL now, and had to skip the ICAO code since this would have resulted in a duplicate.

There should be a way to add aliases for airport codes to avoid this.

Two of the airline names were also not imported correctly: "SAS Scandinavian Airlines" imported incorrectly as "SAS Braathens" and "SN Brussels Airlines imported incorrectly as SNCF". Hm, turns out it is not so easy to change these in retrospect as I can't find them as the list of flights does not give the airline name. Can you add this to the list of fields that are displayed?
