Thanks for the info.
Besides the above method that i suggested, FD has activated a new feature that allows users to Import / Export their data using a CSV file. Do check it out.

Wish there was an easy way to export from FM into FD. Any ideas?

Thanks! Tried it out and went mostly smoothly except for some stuttering on importing S2 and PNW flights. Got 80-odd imported in, have another 10 to do manually

As of now, FD does not allow importing directly from FM.
But, here is the best alternative to manually feeding all the info:
1. Created a new account with both- OpenFlights & FlightDiary.
2. Using the 'Import' option on OF, get the data from your FlightMemory A/c to the new OF A/c.
3. Repeat the same procedure in FlightDiary, except you will now import from OF.
In short: FM >> OF >> FD
You may use all 3 and then decide which is the best database as per your liking.

I found 2 issues,
1. Defunct airlines (Paramount & Air Deccan) are getting imported and available in FD when you enter manually.
2. The Dates of the Flights are not getting imported to FD from OF (Which is a big issue for me)
Any one faced the same issues? - Any Workarounds?

Wow, its been about 10 days since I last visited FD... They have had a major overhaul..!
1. Until a while ago, S2 was listed as Air Sahara and G8 was listed as Gujarat Airways. (Send a Feedback & the admin will update the database after verification)
2. Check the parameters / format requirements for OF vs FD (dd-mm-yyyy, mm-dd-yyyy, or others) and then in the MS Excel file, select the entire date series and format it in the matching pattern. To format text in MS Excel, highlight the data>> right click>> "Format Cells">> Select "Date">> Select the appropriate format.
PS: If you contact the admin in FD using the "Send Feedback" option, they are quick to revert & help-out.

Thanks.
Another option missing in FD wrt OF is a option to delete all the entries. Like wipe all data. It would have been much helpful to try out the import feature - not I'm forced to delete each lines seperatly
