Feedback requested…please!

Flight info that you have entered into CoMETS will not be affected.
The Mac version of the update is here.
The Windoze version of the update is here.
I think I've included all the additional airlines requested--and a few more.

Have you downloaded and tried the CoMETS update?

CoMETS does not attempt to interpret or keep up with the rules of any particular mileage program--which, as you know, are subject to change at any time.
Since I am primarily a UA/*A flyer, I would appreciate learning if there are any additional metrics, used by other airlines or mileage programs, that CoMETS (v2) should track.

Hi Fred.
Just started toying with it today.
So far I am really liking it. Although I must say i wish my CPM were lower....
Thanks
BTW. If I were to add something to it it would be a tracker for work days taken off on each trip.

I was just thinking (always a dangerous thing)...
Should this thread be moved to MilesBuzz? CoMETS is simply awesome, and its appeal goes beyond the mileage runner to anyone who tracks their activity. It may get some more exposure (and feedback, as SeattleFred likes) there.

Just thought of something.... can you add a tool where it adds up whatever fields we choose? I thought it would be fun(ny) to see the breakdown of aircraft types flown in a time period.

Nice app & glad to see it's for Macs! :P
However, I have to query something.... I'm looking at part of a RtW route (in the hope of getting an upgrade for the HKG-SIN leg).
Your app says that for this route - LON-LAX-NAN-AKL (overland) ZQN-SYD-HKG is 13507 miles. The Great Circle mapper on the other hand quotes me 18,105 miles....
Which is more accurate? (This is of concern to me as I have 0 miles with KF, & I need 15K miles to get an upgrade on the HKG-SIN leg :P)

Of course, as noted elsewhere, different airlines credit different mileage for the same routes. If a few miles might make a difference, it is imperative that you check with KF to see the exact mileage you will earn.
(the gist was "Yes, you can upgrade", which I KNEW already & totally ignored my query about whether I'd have enough mileage accrued by the time I got to HKG :P)
