COPY of Post 1 (from wilsnunn) for if the thread gets too long:

How much of the BA flight network does the BAEC FlyerTalk community fly in 2020?
It was suggested in another thread (see here: Any Gaps in our collective knowledge?) that it would be a fun/interesting task to see how much of the whole BA network of flights we as a community here on FlyerTalk actually fly in a given year.

After a bit of discussion in the afore mentioned thread, we came up with the idea of a Google Sheets document to track flights taken by the community.

If people here are genuinely interested in persuing this task then I am sure that it would lead to some very interesting results.

Rules:
  • You must only edit the Google Sheet when not logged into your own Google account (personal/business etc) so as to remain anonymous to the community (and to me the owner of the Google sheet using a new account that is not being used for anything else)
  • You can only add your flight to the list once you have flown it (incase of IRROPS, change of plans etc)
  • You have to have flown on the flight using its BA flight number
    • This means that if you flew on BA113 but were ticketed as AA6134 for example this should not be included
    • This also means that if you have flown QR1 but it was actually ticketed as BA7001 this should be included
In addition to when the route is first flown in the year, this could give some insight into the most popular routes for the members of the community here, as such there is a counter built into the spreadsheet (a simple COUNTA() function) so even if you are not the first to fly that route and want to participate in this experiment, it would be great to see how popular certain routes are.

The Google sheet is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...vid=1896029868

Obviously this will not be of interest to everybody but for those who are interested, I hope that this proves to be a fun and interesting experiment.

Note: if you wish to participate but wish to add an extra level of anonymity on top of your FT username, then please feel free to assign yourself another pseudonym and participate that way.

If you have any questions then please let me know.



My post from the afore mentioned thread for reference:

It is fully editable by users who are not signed in and my account shows as "wilsnunn Flyertalk" so keeps me in the same position as I am here.

I suggest people opening in an "In Private" window thus keeping their personal Google accounts out of it.

Time for another one of my updates:

- 582 flights logged
- 414 different BA flight numbers have been flown
- exactly 300 flight numbers have been flown only once

- 147 different individuals have recorded their flights
- BA0799 HEL-LHR is still the most popular flight (thanks TP runners!)

Thanks again to everybody who is actively participating in this, it is really interesting seeing the information.

Unfortunately the interactive map linked on the Stats page has broken by the includion of PKX airport. I have contacted the guy who runs the website to ask him to fix this issue.

As always, all these measures (and more) as well as the link to the up-to-date and interactive map can be found on the Stats page of the Google Sheet for anybody interested. [Click on "🔒 Stats" at the bottom of the screen]

Such a shame that I think this list / thread will be a little quiet for the next few weeks. We were doing so well too. Keep safe everyone

Ha ... I was about to post the same comment!

Looks like our next 2 holidays (MLA and IAD) are down the tubes. Just glad we managed one at the start of this month.

Surprised to see I'm the first to add BA9 LHR-BKK being as it gets mentioned a lot on the forum! Or is it taboo to admit to flying it? We actually had a great flight in J.

Doesn't surprise me that much to be honest; everybody is avoiding that flight like the plague...
