I really like the idea behind flightmemory, I've been actively researching my flight history from paper stubs and emails to enter into the website since it went live. I've told many of my friends about the website as well. I'm concerened about some differences I've noticed between the German and English websites (other than language).

Why is the English version full of in-line ads and the German version ad-free? This is a new enhancement that rolled out a few days after going live (it wasnt there the first few days, and still missing from the German site).

The English version disabled the Search feature that allows you to find people on matching flights (accessible the first few days of the English site go-live). The German version still allows you to use it.

The only other difference in function is that the German one allows you to export your flight info as a PDF.

I suppose I should just keep my mouth shut so that those features don't get removed from the German site too. Please forget what you read in this post.

You can still search. You need to be logged in to be able to fo it.

I'd love to be able to export to PDF. ^ I'd also like to see user definable sorts, like mileage by airline

I haven't used flight memory, so I don't know what the web pages look like, but if you want to export a web page view to PDF, I like using this free program: www.pdf995.com/

You are correct, looks like it's back.

Regarding your PDF, you can login to flugstatistik, under the tab where you normally click to enter "New Flight" and "Unique Airports" there are three buttons. Click the middle one (on mouseover you can see it links to something with pdf at the end), it will dynamically generate a PDF nicely formatted with your flight data including comments.

Is there a web site that can help me forget a few flights???:confused:

I got to thinking and poked around the site and found it. 25 pages. :eek:

fun!!! Addicting too.

Great site!
 

Thanks, szg, for http://www.flightmemory.com. I love that I can upload all of my flight data and see it online. ^ :)

It is fun. I tried to remember all the flights I took prior to 1995, since they were infrequent and I didn't keep records.

The only data left to enter is a years' worth of SAN-DEN-SAN weekly flights. That will be tedious.

I would advise against that, unless you have a bona fide interest in the AdWord.

Cool site, though.

Thanks for posting this! It looks really neat.

This is a lot of fun. I had been collecting all of my flight info in a notebook for the last couple of years, and being able to see it on a map is really cool.

Now, if I could only remember the details of my flying five or six years ago...

--ww

If you want to fill as many details in as possible and all you have is a flight number and date, go to www.flightstats.com. I know they go back at least a couple of years. They can tell you original flight schedule, actual arrival and departure times, and equipment used.

You need to sign up for an account and log in to get the historical stats. It's free.

I gave up entering my flights prior to a few years ago. Waaaay too many back and forward (one to three times weekly), mostly on the same route and of a handful of airlines.

Posters?
 

Glad I got turned on to this site. I was getting a little worried that I wasn't obsessing over miles and flights enough.
This year is shaping up like it could be a memorable one in terms of travel - by my standards anyway. The personalized poster with your flight stats and map on it looks pretty cool (thinking the smaller ones). Has anyone bought one in the past, and if so, how did it come out? (quality, clarity, accuracy)
