A useful addition to the functionality. wijomas - I will contact you offline and look at incorporating it into the calendar proper if it is suitable to do so.

I am happy for people to add functionality who have the right skills, but might I suggest some form of contact with me before releasing it to the world as I could have undoubtedly make extensions easier for people to implement.

A pseudo-legal disclaimer - If people's flight diaries start filling up with obscure entries (eg. the LON example above) that haven't been entered via the calendar interface itself then please don't get upset if you can't access it for a period of time as it's maintained very much on a best-efforts basis and it's difficult to anticipate every eventuality.

Seems to work great when there's only one person on the booking but found another wee bug.

One of my bookings is LHR-MAD, MAD-CMN with a friend.

The first leg I am in seat 15D and my friend 15C.
The second leg I am in seat 8D and my friend 8E.

Your tool puts me in seat 15C for the second leg.

Cheers

Pedant Alert...

Just imported a LHR - DUS sector. Interestingly, the imported one shows a distance of 313 miles, where those entered natively and calculated by the site itself show 312...

There was an earthquake and the airports moved a bit... That is odd though, because it gets the miles from exactly the same place (Great Circle Mapper), and GC reports LHR-DUS as 313.

Interesting tool ...

... tried it for a flight I had last Saturday and it worked quite well.

I did a post edit to remove flight #, times and changed 737-800 to 73H to match my other entries.

Yes, I'm considering changing the aircraft type from the "full" name to the shorter name (744, 73H, etc).

Removing flight numbers and times? Don't you want stalkers? :P
