And it's a very cumbersome way to multiply your fare by 4/6/7/8 just to see how many Flying Blue miles you'll earn....when this is already shown in your booking online once you've made it. Maybe if you've already got into the habit of trying to figure out how many Skypesos you earn that muscle memory means you're more likely to go here than to the Flying Blue tool; but the FB tool is quicker and easier for figuring out what the XPs are (most frequent flyers will already know the earning for their usual routes, and therefore for all comparable routes)

BER is the correct (and I believe now only for commercial aviation TXL has closed and SXF was absorbed into Brandenburg) airport code for Berlin. The airport information file used in the tool is okay but not great I'm looking into ways to improve this. If an airport shows just its code like BER did for
irishguy above, please report it here or in the other thread.
Berlin Brandenburg is now loaded into the tool, so
irishguy's example should now work (
