Hi Moomba.
Thought the Mileage Monkey and the OW calculator were the same. I'm using Milleage Monkey 0.95021 from http://slfft.allhyper.com/0.95/award.htm.
Could you tell where is the OW calculator?

Mileage Monkey validates xONEx type fares - so you are using the wrong tool.
The xONEx rules can be found here: http://www.oneworld.com/content/libr...rule_sheet.pdf
A synopsis/FAQ's of the fare can be found here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/onewo...cket-faqs.html

It would be lot better if AA renamed those ☻#ö#®╝ awards

At least we got the AA oneworld award sticky thread flicked over the AA forum

Hi SLF,
With AA's recent announcement of direct DFW-MAD v.v. flights starting May, I was wondering if you could please add this to MM?
DFW-MAD on AA36 is a 763 with jy
MAD-DFW on AA37 is a 763 with jy
Cheers! ^

0.95022 is available
0.95022 is available
Changes from the previous version (which is still available):
Of these, I'll expand a little more on the experimental flight database one. An ongoing problem for MM is keeping the flight database up to date. FT user hippo has spent a lot of time on this, and his work is included in 0.95022.
You'll see a new radio button, "oneworld flights db" which allows you to choose between the original flights database (which is coming up to being a year old), or the new one provided by hippo. You can swap between these at any time, so you could check out your itinerary using one, and then the other quite easily. The hippo database is marked experimental for now, simply until it is tested out a little more in the wild
. Please do try out the hippo database - it should be a lot more accurate than the older original one (the airlines have changed a lot over the last year) - however there may be things which aren't quite right (e.g. it could contain some codeshare schedules which aren't valid on an xONEx ticket).
Please continue to report any errors or inaccuracies in this thread. If the issue you're reporting concerns flights (e.g. LHR-DXB) then please be sure to include whether you see the problem with the original, hippo or both databases.
Changes from the previous version (which is still available):
- Added experimental oneworld flight database (thanks hippo)
- Moved Libya from Europe/Middle East continent group (was Africa)
- Removed "pre-1 June 2008" option which permitted 20-segment tickets
- Removed DPS-PER & v.v. (thanks Mwenenzi)

LIM-EZE appears in the OW timetable with three daily flights in each direction. It currently throws up an error in 'hippo' only.

I've noticed a number of flights that are single flights in a day on the OW timetable, which only are direct in one direction, and not the other. One example of these are LAX-MSY (there's no equivalent MSY-LAX direct), and PDX-ORF (there's no ORF-PDX).
Are these able to be added to the database as well?
Thank you so much for running this - it's invaluable for working out xONEx fares, particularly with a focus on maximising status credits in the QANTAS FF scheme!

I need to get SLF some updated zone info for the award calculator.. eg many programs have increased mileage for certain zones; some countries have changed zones for different programs, etc.

LA (well, Lan Peru actually) flies LIM-PUJ-MIA. I haven't checked PUJ-MIA but they definitely have traffic rights between LIM and PUJ (and apparently PUJ-MIA is in the OW timetable)
