MM won't accept MIA-YVR as a possible route... but flight 1379 is a direct (one-stop) daily service from MIA to YVR and counts as a single segment...

Added, thanks.

What a great tool! I wish I'd found this earlier!!

One update: BA's flights from LGW to ABZ, NCE, PRG, KEF, SPU have now been axed, unfortunately

Thank you again for creating and maintaining this, it really is very helpful!

MM OWE Validator is missing the new daily DragonAir flight between BLR and HKG.

CX codeshares on it (CX6710) as well.

Has been discussed before, but should not NRT-GRU count USA as a continentl. See this post 3 in this thread

No. See the archive, and on Gardyloo's advice the less we talk about it, the better.

Bkk-bud
 

MileageMonkey says BKK-BUD is a valid sector, though I can't seem to find any single-flight-number services in the oneworld timetable, in the oneworld itinerary planner, or on Malev's website.

Am I missing something, or has this flight been discontinued?

Also, the various BA flights from London to Morocco are no longer valid for xONExs:(

I have a pdf of the oneworld timetable valid from 18 Jan 08 to 15 Feb 08. At that time BKK-BUD was flight MA80 & BUD-BKK was flight MA81 both operating 4 days per week. May have been deleted or seasonal.

It isn't in the 9 May 08 to 6 June 08 pdf, so I guess that means it's been dropped :(

It has been dropped, at least from their summer timetable. Same for CAI, that was also asked about in some other thread. See the press release:

http://www.malev.hu/BP/ENG/I_NEWS_EN...609-56ADCP.asp

Wow .. I'm mostly offline for a few weeks and lots to come back to ;). Most of the below are fixed in 0.95018, available now in the usual place.

Removed, thanks.

Added, thanks. (I did this one the hard way a few years ago ... BLR-BOM-SIN-HKG :(). Interestingly it's not shown in EF but it is in the OW timetable. Is there an F cabin on this route?

Thanks. I need to figure out the best way to fix this.

BUD-BKK is showing in my timetable on 10 December 2008, so it looks like this may be seasonal. MM can't handle seasonal variations so I'll just leave it in ... something to be aware of when putting an itin together. This is no different to the DFW-ANC run...

LGW services to AGA/RAK removed, along with LHR to CMN/FEZ/RAK :(; thanks

Please add DME-ORD as a vailid route as this thread

Done, thanks (is this transpacific or transatlantic?, and I wonder what MM makes of it... ;))

Please add MAD-WAW and WAW-MAD as valid direct flights with Iberia.

Thanks,
AndersB

Done, thanks.

The KA152/CX6710 HKG-BLR starts (according to Amadeus timetable) on July 1st & ends on Oct 25th. No First Class on this route as far as I can see (in KVS).

AA764 LAX-YUL comes up in the schedule as a one stop service via ORD. From Sept, 5 days a week.

Thanks for that :)

Done, thanks.

From post 3 in this thread. MM fails YUL-UVF
I could not find it a very quick check on www.aa.com with a few random dates. Others hopefully can do a better search. Only seems to be as YUL-JFK-UVF or YUL-MIA-UVF. Poster may not being giving us all the information.

Edit: Now think MM is correct. Route given by poster was not correct imho
Edit 2: The thread linked in post 12 states YUL-UVF exists as single flight (seasonable)

YUL-UVF added, thanks (looks like a winter service).

According to AA this will be a daily service from 3 September 2008. It is not seasonal.

Mileage differences
 

While playing around with the longest routing possible, I noticed that Mileage Monkey and Great Circle Mapper return different distances.

For example:
http://gc.kls2.com/cgi-bin/gc?PATH=m...avy&MAP-STYLE=
http://slfft.allhyper.com/0.95/award...HR-MCT-LHR-DAR

This could be a problem for people trying to maximize Qantas SC's.

And the way that each airline calculates the distances is likely to be different again ;).

MM has it's own database for this, and doesn't use KLS2, so I hope that explains the difference.

If you note any specific issues with MM, please post in this thread and I will correct them.

Hmm, someone needs to tell the CX website then. I just tried a trial booking for CX6710 for Nov 11 and it happily shows me flights, but won't let me book them for November.
<OT> If they've canned the route, I'll be annoyed, as it was my leverage to get around our *A preferred policy. Being able to do SFO-BLR with just the one stop was great, plus it made a DONE3 easier to justify.

0.95019 is now available
 

Latest (0.95019 at time of writing)

• Added link to fare estimate, based on origin country
• Removed "Ignore surface sectors" option, as that was for pre-June 2007 tickets only (if anyone still needs this, use 0.95018)
• Added option for pre-1 June 2008 tickets (20 sectors permitted), 16 sector maximum now

Older versions (in case of problem) available here.

I think these segments are wrong.

5718 6433 7148 2859 BCN-ABC
5718 6433 7148 2859 BCN-LEN

Thanks SLF, keep up the great work!

In what way are they wrong? Both are currently in MM, but I'm not sure that BCN-ABC should be (it's operated by Denim Air which isn't listed in the valid affiliate airlines).

That's the problem. I don't think ABC is a valid airport. Try it in Great Circle. http://gc.kls2.com/cgi-bin/gclookup?...PEED-UNITS=kts
And BCN-LEN is not 2859 miles, its only 408. http://gc.kls2.com/cgi-bin/gc?PATH=B...avy&MAP-STYLE=

I was a little suspicious when I noticed that both legs have the exact same distance.

Could you please add HKG-AMM (RJ) and HKG-PUS (KA) to the tool.

Thanks

Thanks - I've correctly located both LEN & ABC, but I've disallowed BCN-ABC due to the fact it seems to be operated by Denim Air who aren't a OW affiliate.

Done, thanks.

I just noticed that LAX-SJO no longer comes up in the AA timetable for Jan 09.

Also there is a MIA-PHX service AA1007 and a return in the morning AA500. (also for Jan 09)

I hope this helps, thanks for the great tool.

Another flight for the database: STL-SXM

As mentioned in another trehad http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=837074,

Some Dragonair flights are missed.
e.g. HKG-DAC, HKG-HKT, HKG-KMG, HKG-BKI, HKG-NKG, HKG-TAO, HKG-RMQ, ...

I've rewritten the PDF schedule scraper, so hopefully SLF can get up the new schedule data soon.
This data is from the latest (July 4) oneworld PDF schedule.

Here's a list of the unlimited 'transcons' for North America:
Format is Departure,Country, Arrival, Country, Airline, #miles, Flight#,...,Qantas SC's earned

and a list of the longhaul segments in Europe (>1800mi)

New beta version available - 0.95020
 

Thanks hauteboy :-: ^^

I've incorporated the DB into a new version (0.95020) which is available on the beta page. If all goes to plan, I'll move it to the regular page within a week.

Note: there is a known problem - the feature which tells you which cabins are available on each segment isn't working (yet). If you need this feature then please stick with 0.95019 for now.

Also - I haven't checked for the discrepancies reported by goback, Mwenenzi and Wasabi Tofu above - thanks for these reports, I'll try to follow up on these shortly and see if the new DB has fixed these automatically :)

New feature - Starwood hotel search
 

When you're using the google map, if you click on the red marker at the airport, you will now see a "Starwood" link - if you click that, it opens a new window with a search for Starwood hotels near that airport. Currently available in the 0.95020 beta version only.

That's a long flight in a 757. Where's the stop?

1662 goes POS-MIA-SFO

Please add flights to/from HKT
 

AY2967/2968 and AY2969/2970 each once weekly HEL-HKT and return

these appear to be 'Leisure Air' flights so I don't know if they are available for OW itineraries

KA212/213 (CX6716/6717 codeshare) daily HKG-HKT and return

Together they allow a different way from Europe to Asia: HEL-HKT-HKG
