TheAuditor, I cannot believe that you would choose to fly a longer routing to get more miles. All I know is that when I get on a plane, I just want to get there!!! Jetdillo ... sounds awesome, I would be happy to help Beta test. Some ideas for things to include may be:

* Airline club locations with hours of operation (like the two Admirals Clubs at JFK which have different ours of operation).

* When entering your routing, the program would atomatically calculate the mileage.

* Depending on the airline and your status, the program could calcuate the bous miles awarded.'

* There would need to be some form of "adjustment" option for such things as on-line line booking, car rental, hotel, 1-800-FLOWERS and other such bonuses.

* Adjustments would also need to be made for things like double mileage or bonusmieage offerings on certain routings.

* Don't for get that different airlines have different definitions of what constitutes a "leg" for calculation status based on segments (e.g. different flight numbers vs. one flight number, but direct i.e. not non-stop, SouthWest where departure city to destinnation is one leg no matter how many flights/flight #'s it is, etc.).

* You may want to include the calculation of free upgrade segements/certificates that many of the airlines offer, but be careful, AA keeps resetting my couter and I have not quite figured out what they are doing.

These are just some ideas. It probably does not make sense to incorporate all in the first release. Good luck and please feel free to e-mail me if you need more clarity or if I could braistorm any more ideas for you .... although you are probably thinking why did I post my idea here now.
