Goofy website. Didn't list my airport (MCI) and many major ones were omitted (for example, PHL). Also, too many spam-windows.
Redeeming quality: It was sort of fun trying to find the most suicidal routes! Fly a few Airbus segments among the former Soviet republics and you can actually generate some rather non-trivial death odds.
Not sure what this has to do with frequent flyer programs, though...

Did you allow for the statistical error of +-3.5%?

Based on my personal experience thus far, my chances of dying are 0 percent. This has been confirmed via exhaustive sampling of friends and associates. If anyone has direct experience to the contrary, could they post specifics?

As I have said before on this topic, when the odds of dying DRIVING TO THE AIRPORT are included, I will take this type of oddsmaking seriously.
