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:
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.

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

Maybe keep the entries sorted by flight number?

Must remember this - I’m on the first flight of a summer route this year so should have a decent chance of being the first FTer to record it for the year!

If you are first to fly the route then please also fill in the "First Flown" column.
The "Number of times flown" column will automatically do its thing so no need to worry about that.

I’ve had a go at updating the spreadsheet! Can somebody confirm that I have saved it correctly? BA18 on 2nd January. Also, I couldn’t fathom how to set the date format correctly. i.e. 02-Jan rather than 2/1/20!

EDIT: It should put the date in the correct format automatically from now on (regardless of how you enter it).

I like this however I can't seem to edit the spreadsheet from my mobile phone. It seems to want me to download and install Google docs even though I have it already. As I am on a mobile network I don't want to download again (data speed is a bit slow). Can someone please edit the spreadsheet for me to add:
BA0502 LHR T3 to LIS date flown 4 Jan 2020 AJA_
BA0502 LHR T3 to LIS date flown 4 Jan 2020 AJA_

Have added the flights to the spreadsheet for both of you.
