My flight path - new on BA.com(?)
I had not seen "My flightpath" before (usual log-in page on ba.com, half-way down on the left) ... seems pretty accurate. A fun enhancement to ba.com ... 
Says I did 194 days in the air with BA since I joined the EC back in 1996.

Fun and a bit scary! I would have personally enjoyed a more graphic display in map format for novelty sake!

I think that is pretty cool. I'm sure there are some missing flights (but I can't prove it).
Actually, the more I play around with it, the more I see that flights are missing. A lot of LHs don't show up, so they presumably didn't make it into my lifetime TPs...has anyone had their TPs audited?

Quirky I suppose! BA going facebook or something... I was hoping for info when you click to expand it, but for my 767 flights to/from scotland and gcm, it just seems to show an A380 or a guy playing bagpipes... Quite like it anyway, although how it will look for people that fly a lot...that is going to be a big page!

I get a "system error" on each and every year going back to 1991. Is anyone else seeing this error?
I quite like the dashboard but wish I could drill down into the detail to check whether I can find any missing lifetime points. I really should do a 'freedom of information' request but haven't got round to it yet.

I love this!
But there definitely some missing for me. And if they're the obvious ones (no trips to Japan for example) I wonder how many others are missing. Who's to know whether 10 to JNB should be 11?
But it is a bit of fun.

OK, which idiot asked for this in a survey?
I'd much rather they spend their time fixing stuff that's bad/wrong/broken rather than adding new stuff that is just a nice to have (at best.)
For example, on the mobile BA.com I cannot see my bookings, I try to add one it but it says it is shown above, but it is not. I'd much rather have that work than the "my flightpath" fluff.

Amazing, thanks for pointing this out. Mine's a bit of a mess, I'm getting motion sickness just looking at it. Apparently I have taken "at least" 10 flights as Bronze, which I don't quite recall and "at least" 50 flights at Gold, I wish that was a little more precise, is that just this year or all years?
But there is a point here, any chance of multi city Avios bookings please? Or even a bit of LAN? Or even Kraków?

Sorry, we can't show your information because of a system error. Please try again later.
I get the same pop-up error message whenever I use the BA Android app, so apparently there's something wrong with my account? Doesn't seem to actually affect anything I care about, luckily.
