How to log your United flights
A connection through Chicago, a ski weekend via Denver, a long-haul out of Newark or San Francisco. If you fly United often, those flights add up quickly, and the details end up spread 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 a United 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.
- Common codes: Chicago O'Hare is ORD, Denver is DEN, Houston Intercontinental is IAH, Newark is EWR, San Francisco is SFO, Washington Dulles is IAD and Los Angeles is LAX.
- Cities with two airports: Chicago also has Midway (MDW), Houston has Hobby (HOU) and Washington has Reagan National (DCA). Typing the code is the quickest way to get the right one.
- Optional details: flight number (saved in capitals), airline, aircraft, registration, seat and cabin.
United's airline code is UA, so a flight number looks like UA plus digits. Type the airline name in the Airline field. 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 UA) in the Airline field. On some flights 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 United 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.
Airlines are counted by their exact text. A scanned flight saved as UA and a typed flight saved as United 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 United 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 United's airline code?
UA. A United flight number is UA followed by digits, and a scanned United boarding pass usually saves UA in the Airline field.
Why is United listed twice in my stats?
Airlines are counted by exact text, so UA and United count as two. Use one name for every flight and edit any that don't match.
Which Chicago, Houston or Washington airport should I pick?
Type the code directly: ORD or MDW for Chicago, IAH or HOU for Houston, IAD or DCA for Washington. Check the code before you save.
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.
