If you show me yours, I’ll show you mine? There are a couple of places online where you can keep track of your flight history. You enter all your details and you get a nice map as well as various statistics on your flying.
Historically, I have entered everything into FlightMemory.com. However, it’s not possible to export your details from there and I was mildly concerned about losing my data, so I spent a good ten hours entering it all manually into myFlightradar24, which used to be Flight Diary.
Flight History
Keeping track of your flight history as you go is the easiest way to do it. Some people use a spreadsheet, others use the sites I mentioned, while there are also things like App in the Air for use on your mobile device.
Using Google Maps as its base makes myFlightradar24 the best looking. You can zoom in and out, so you can see all the places you have flown to quite easily. It’s handy when you’ve visited airports close together.
Pleasingly they automatically calculate the flight duration, taking into account the time zones. It would be terrible having to work that out yourself! Also, you get to see your statistics such as number of flights taken, airlines you’ve flown the most, longest flight and so on.
Overall Thoughts
Since my first flight way back in 1985, I have taken 482 flights. It may sound like a lot to some people, while to others it’s a mere toe in the water. You can check out my map and statistics on myFlightradar24 here, or you can go old school and see the FlightMemory version here.
Do you use one of these services or do you think it’s something a little too geeky for you? If you do use one of them, how about you wow me with your map by sharing it in the comments below? Thanks very much for reading!

Hi there, so far I had 90 flights since 2005, mainly since 2017 though. Not too impressive, but bear in mind I am a 22 year old student and so far I can’t afford (money and time) flying more often. Hopefully one day my map will be as full as yours xD

You’ve done quite a bit of travel, really – much more than I had when I was 22! If you keep travelling, I’d say your map might surpass mine eventually! Thanks for the comment, always nice to see another frequent flyer’s map!! 🙂
Since 2003 1017 flights plus a few more that I might have forgotten. The bulk since 2013 at 720 flights. In 2018 I did 192 flights and in 2017, 186 flights. Of the total, 770 in Business or First where available. My 2 most used airlines are UA ( 456k miles ) and QR ( 732K miles ). My first flight with QR was as recent as 2015. I am Australian citizen based in Sri Lanka for now. https://my.flightradar24.com/Willett
That’s a hardcore amount of flying and a huge proportion in premium cabins! One reason I fly so much myself is because I’m Australian based in Ireland, so I need to go back and forth around once a year, but then I also have friends in the USA and in Europe, so there are those visits too. You have really taken to Qatar very well and I can understand why, having flown them myself. Thanks for the link, but your map is set to private, so I can’t see it. Sounds great though – thanks for sharing those details!
Just 563 flights. Mostly since 2009. Last years annually about 100.
