Hello AY Forum!
It's 2 months until the big leap into world of Avios. Inspired by the
discussion in the other thread I started a little weekend project. So far I have working barebones proof of concept for Avios calculator / comparing service. It will accept input from Matrix ITA or AY eticket fare calculation. Then it will calculate miles for each leg and distribute accrued Avios based on the great
explanation by [MENTION=55243]ranskis[/MENTION]. In the future there would be calculation for crediting into other Avios FFP's. Manual data input is on the to-do list.
Current test version is available without any warranty here:

Few things to note:
- so far only AY fares calculate Avios
- non € departure cities use estimated Rate of Exchange to calculate fare in Euros
- Fare calculation will fail if it has components not configured in to the parser (eg. global routing indicators or mileage principle) - these will be fixed as they appear
- distances for legs are calculated using real coordinates and may vary little from credited miles
Is this something this forum needs? What calculations / information should be available? What other input data sources should be configured? Feel free to DM me if you have suggestions or need help using the tool.
