I carry a 3x5 notebook which I use as a log. This is what a page from it looks like (excuse my bad handwriting):



I then input the data into FlightMemory as well as some spreadsheets I've created which track the tail numbers and a lot of other details.

I look up flight info on FlightRadar24, then input that data into Flightmemory.

I recently started using My Flight Radar 24 (https://my.flightradar24.com/) and it does about 95% of what I want it to do. I had previously kept an Excel file with all the dates, flight numbers and cities. By entering that data into My Flight Radar 24, it automatically generates a cool map and some handy charts like this:






There is a 7-day trial to see if you like it, then it costs around $3 per month for the Gold product.

It does most of what I want (cool charts, csv export, easy entry and decent database of flight data), but I often fly about 20 flights per year between the same pair of cities and I wish it would somehow show on the map that there were 20 flights instead of making it look like just one... Still, the design is much better than some of the other sites shared above.

Flightdiary is free , however the main flight radar product , which allows you to better track flights and airplanes is offered under different monthly/yearly plans , from 1,5$ to 50$ per month

The more you fly a route , the darker it get . Otherwise i think its best option to not having a wide panel of colors

I am looking to move away from Flightdiary. They are not planning to fix the time calculation flaw for time zones which have a half split, like India, which is GMT + 5 1/2. The half gets ignored throwing all calculations off. Since half my travel is there, I want some semblance of accuracy in the time flown.

I am in the middle of a 14-day demo of App in the Air for iOS. It's okay. It has a social function as well where you can compete on a leaderboard against your friends in terms of how many km / hr were flown year to date. I am in first place so far among my 7 friends on the app...

Adding flights is not too hard in manual mode. They also allow you to connect it to your Google account so it can detect flight reservations from your gmail / calendar, though I am not too sure how I feel about that...

I use Flighty. I think they have some kind of TripIt import functionality, but as I don't use TripIt I just enter my flights manually. It works well.

Have used OpenFlights.org for years. I pay the $10/year or whatever the suggested donation.

Export my flights to CSV once a year to save them.



I just looked at all the other ones mentioned up thread.
Couldn’t imagine using anything else still, OF is painless and totally free if you don’t donate.

Has anyone gotten trier map done from flight memory? I’d really like to get a map from them but the cost with shipping is prohibitive

I’ve never seen It update and usually check even if it’s the next time in.

Does anyone know if there is any remaining support for Open FLights? You can't add new airlines anymore (I recently tried to add Fly Arystan in KZ and there is a bug). It also hasn't been updating airports, for instance NQZ is it's old TSE still. Nothing too major at this point but over time there will be more issues.

I don't really want to go through converting 11 years of flights for my wife and I + three years of flights for my daughter into a new system if I can avoid it but if there's something better, I'd consider moving. I moved away from Flight Memory a while back because it's pretty archaic and they weren't interested in adding additional features even though I was a paid member.

They're possibly still doing some work as I was finally able to add my Avelo inaugural flight from last December. It took several months before I was able to switch it away from private carrier. Still, the front page says the last bug fix was May, 2021, so who knows. I, too, pay for the site and am curious if the priority service would get any sort of response.

Fightly is a pretty good APP, but it seems that it is only on iOS. It pulls and syncs flight data from your calendar, and it also has real-time flight activity notifications.
