BA Executive Club introduces a new toy – My FlightPath

Some of us love flight logging tools – be it the ever venerable FlightMemory , OpenFlights, or FlightDiary (to name but a few)

British Airways thinks is a good idea, and have introduced My FlightPath.

You can access it via your Executive Club Main screen (see below)

….or if you’re lazy, head to https://www.britishairways.com/travel/my-flight-path/execclub/_gf/en_gb, and enter your Executive Club credentials.

You’ll get a lovely screen showing you some numbers and stats…

(these are actually my numbers… these are BA Flights only)

You’ll get a Facebookesque timeline which also shows your flights too.

There’s also a handy map, and the unbiquitous social media badges. Because everyone likes badges….

Yeah. Badges.. what was it about not needing badges…? 

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a nice tool, but a bit unfinished (as it can’t handle codeshares, and the map can only deal with return trips), and in no way is it as flexible as other tools out there.

Me? I use OpenFlights. Throws anything I throw at it, and it has some nice maps and stats too:

(My OpenFlights are listed on: http://openflights.org/user/kevincm for those who are interested….).

Anyone else have their own favourite mapping tools?
