Come on guys and gals we only need a few more J bookings to out do those Y fellows.
Have you figured out what your percentage of the total miles is?

For those of us with Amex Platinum and Centurion chargecards I have added these to the calendar. In addition to Priority Pass the cards themselves can get access to BD Lounges and Centurion can get access to the VS Clubhouses.
I am going away this weekend but shall add the bits that allow access for these cards when I return on Sunday evening. In the meantime feel free to add them to your profile.
PS. American Express is right at the bottom of the list of 'airlines' where you modify your profile.
PPS. If the cards themselves give access to any other lounges please let me know

Congratulations, one and all - we're now >20,000,000 miles stored in the calendar.
Unfortunately the 'tart' factor is declining - Y is edging its way toward 50% of travel whereas J has just crept beneath 40%
Perhaps new users should have to demonstrate their preference for premium cabins before being allowed to register?

There are a few Centurion Lounges, e.g. at EZE, Mexico City, etc.
I signed up as well with a little premium travel. Sadly not enough premium travel for BA97's great calender, totally my opinion, I need to fly more in C and F.
BA97, I suggest you make some advertisement on the LH board. Many LH flyers like it, just are not that sure if they should use it since other LH flyers may not use it or are to lazy to put in all flights. The value of your site depends on the number of flyers from one region or who prefer one airline/alliance.

Probably AJ is right. They want to stay independent. But honestly, as someone flying mainly Star Alliance, I must say the BA97 Calender is fantastic ^^^.

Few questions on website
I have updated my travels, but a few questions on the website:
(1) Does the filter by region work? does it only work for PC? I have a mac and selecting the filter doesnt seem to do anything... I mainly travel in South Africa and Canada, and would like to see who's traveling in these countries.
(2) I tried adding my Air Canada Elite status, but it doesnt show up... I've also tried uploading an image of both AC card and the SAA Voyager card and no success.. Is it because i am using a mac?

As for the regions, it doesn't work so well on Mac with me either.
