This geek is going to spend too much time watching those 
Small feature request: could you add the time of the last refresh of data on the pages? Either in the title at the top if you update all of them one-shot, or as an extract column in the table if they're updated at different times. Thanks!

I have tweaked the "hottest" section a bit, this now comes in two versions:
Hottest Now: Shows which BA destinations are the hottest now (data updated every 6 hours).
Hottest within last 24 hours: Shows the airports with the highest temperatures over the last 24 hours (and hence accounts for night/day differences).
LHR may have a chance to make it to the top 10 today - requires 39C/102F. Lets hope it doesn't go to number 1 (currently held by KWI - 47C/117F).

Hiya
Great website - very clever. Just one point Las Vegas airport is no longer called McCarran - it is Harry Reid International.

Super resource - I love that you can take a bunch of raw data and turn it into something genuinely useful.
Can I suggest an expansion of one of the features? That is Redeem or Buy ( with Companion Voucher ).
Appreciate that the ranking may not change and there's a bit of a complication with how many points the second person would earn depending on their status, so it probably means adding a second selector.
I've tried to do this myself on Excel but couldn't get the maths/logic to come up with the same figure as you - so I gave up!

I've added Companion Vouchers to the Earn or Burn calculator results, but agree with your view that it is pretty complicated in terms of scenarios (between 4 status levels and (off-)peak redemptions). There is a lot of information on that results page now, and it doesn't make for easy reading.
This is great - for me, it's really useful! Thank you !
Agreed that there's lots of info to wade through - some formatting tweaks could resolve some of that.
What I've never considered is the value of tier points themselves which is whole new can of worms!

BA's calculation uses the 'ticketed point mileage' method used in fare construction. In Amadeus, for this is the entry FQM followed by the string of cities, for example FQMLHRHELDOH gives:
Code:
FQMLHRHELDOH FQM LON HEL DOH CTY DC TPM CUM MPM DC LVL <HGL >LWL 25M XTRA GCM LON 2 HEL 2 EH 1130 1130 1372 EH 0M 242 0 1715 0 1138 DOH 2 EH 2732 3862 4074 EH 0M 212 0 5092 0 2731

Speedbird Online now also has current and historic (starting July 2022) NOTAM data for airports served by BA, available at: https://speedbird.online/airport_notam.php
An example is here: https://speedbird.online/airport_not...-22&output=raw
Picked this one as an example because I liked how Heathrow put their summer capacity restrictions into a NOTAM - not sure this is wha a NOTAM is supposed to be about...
There are display options for the raw NOTAMS and a decoded version. The decoded version is fairly rough around the edges (many of the abbreviations used depend on context, so it is unfortunately not straightforward to decode them automatically).

If that is not it, did you simply want another column that says e.g. 40 TP next to the fare?

Have you tried the fare search? Does that help?

I didn't add it to the other tables as I was thinking it would make things harder to read. Hope this helps - and sorry it took a while.
