How to log your Emirates flights
London to Dubai, a connection on to Sydney or Bangkok, then home again through the same hub. Emirates trips are long, and they usually come in pairs of flights through Dubai, so the details pile up fast across confirmation emails, old boarding passes and your memory.
Waymarka is a flight log and travel pin map that runs in your browser on phones, tablets and computers. You keep every flight in one place, see the routes on a map and get stats on the airlines and airports you use. To be clear: Waymarka is a record of flights you've taken, not a live flight tracker. It doesn't track flights live and doesn't send alerts.
Add an Emirates flight by hand
Only three things are required: the date and the two airports. You can type an airport code or search by city or airport name.
- Dubai: Emirates' hub is Dubai International (DXB). Dubai also has Al Maktoum International (DWC), so check which one you flew before you save.
- Common codes: London Heathrow is LHR, London Gatwick is LGW, New York JFK is JFK, Sydney is SYD, Singapore is SIN, Bangkok is BKK and Toronto is YYZ.
- Watch the city search: searching "London" also lists London, Ontario (YXU), so typing the code is the quickest way to get the right airport.
- Optional details: flight number (saved in capitals), airline, aircraft, registration, seat and cabin.
Emirates' airline code is EK, so a flight number looks like EK plus digits. A trip through Dubai is two flights: log each leg on its own so both routes show on your map. See how to log past flights for catching up on older trips.
Scan the boarding pass barcode
If you still have the boarding pass, on paper or saved on your phone, you can scan its barcode. The scan fills in the date, the route, the flight number, your seat and cabin, and puts the two-letter airline code from the barcode (usually EK) in the Airline field. On a flight operated by a partner airline the code can differ, so check it before you save.
Barcodes don't include the year, so you confirm the year before you approve the flight. Aircraft type isn't in the barcode either; add it later with Edit on the flight's page.
Import a spreadsheet of past flights
Already keep your trips in a spreadsheet? Save it as CSV and import it. A column named Airline, Airline name, Carrier or Operator is picked up as the airline. If your headers aren't recognised, a mapping step lets you choose which column is which. A myFlightradar24 export can be imported too.
On the Free plan, imported and scanned flights count toward your first 10 flights.
Keep Emirates as one airline in Stats
The Stats tab shows your Top airlines: your six most-flown airlines with the number of flights on each, next to your busiest airports and top aircraft. You also get total distance in km, airports and countries, which is where long Emirates legs really show up.
Airlines are counted by their exact text. A scanned flight saved as EK and a typed flight saved as Emirates show up as two separate airlines. Pick one style, the full name or the code, and edit any flights that don't match. See flight stats for everything else on the Stats tab.

Frequently asked questions
Can I log Emirates flights in Waymarka?
Yes. Add each flight with its date and two airports, then type the airline and flight number. You can also scan the boarding pass barcode or import a CSV.
What is Emirates' airline code?
EK. An Emirates flight number is EK followed by digits, and a scanned Emirates boarding pass usually saves EK in the Airline field.
How do I log a connection through Dubai?
Log it as two flights, one into Dubai and one out of it, each with its own date and airports. Both routes then show on your map and count in your stats.
Why is Emirates listed twice in my stats?
Airlines are counted by exact text, so EK and Emirates count as two. Use one name for every flight and edit any that don't match.
Is Waymarka a live flight tracker?
No. Waymarka is a flight log and travel pin map for flights you've taken and places you've been. It doesn't track flights live and doesn't send alerts.
