An OpenFlights alternative for your flight log and map

OpenFlights has been around for a long time. It is free, open source and built on community airport and airline data, and plenty of travellers have years of flights saved there.

If you want a newer place for that history, Waymarka is a flight log and travel pin map that runs in your browser. Your OpenFlights backup comes across as a CSV file, and every flight is drawn as a route on one world map. To be clear: Waymarka is a logbook, not a live flight tracker. It doesn't track flights live and doesn't send alerts.

Step 1: Back up your flights from OpenFlights

Sign in to OpenFlights, open Account settings, and under Manage flights choose Backup to CSV. You get one file with every flight you've logged.

The file has columns such as Date, From, To, Flight_Number, Airline, Seat, Class, Plane, Registration and Note, plus Distance, Duration and some internal OpenFlights IDs.

Step 2: Two small edits before you upload

Open the CSV in a spreadsheet and make two quick changes so nothing is lost:

  • Rename the Plane column to Aircraft, so your aircraft types come across.
  • Change class P to Premium, so premium economy flights keep their cabin. F, C and Y are read as they are.

Save the file as CSV again. You don't need to touch Distance or Duration: Waymarka works out distance from the two airports.

Step 3: Upload the file to Waymarka

In Waymarka, open Add flights → Upload CSV and choose the file. Date, From, To, Flight_Number, Airline, Seat, Class, Registration and Note are recognised automatically. Dates like 2019-05-10 are read, and when a time follows the date, only the date is kept.

Nothing is saved until you check it. Your flights show up as a review list first. Airports are matched for you, and you can fix one that matched the wrong place. Flights already in your log are flagged as possible duplicates, so you can keep, replace or merge each one. More on files in the CSV import guide.

What you get once your flights are in

  • Route map: every flight drawn on a world map. See your flight map.
  • City pins: mark places as Visited, Planned, Living now, Native or Not visited.
  • Stats: distance in kilometres, time in the air, airports, countries, and your top airlines and aircraft. See flight stats.
  • New flights: type them in or scan a boarding pass barcode.
  • Your data stays yours: export every flight as a CSV any time from Settings → Data and privacy, on any plan.

  • Pro: unlimited flights and pins: $2.99 a month, $19.99 a year, or $49.99 once for Waymarka Life, all in USD plus tax.

Frequently asked questions

How do I export my flights from OpenFlights?

Sign in to OpenFlights, open Account settings, and under Manage flights choose Backup to CSV. That downloads every flight as one CSV file.

Do I need to edit the OpenFlights file before importing?

Two small edits help: rename the Plane column to Aircraft so aircraft types come across, and change class P to Premium so premium economy is kept. Everything else can stay as it is.

What happens to flights I already logged in Waymarka?

Imported flights appear in a review list before anything is saved. Flights already in your log are flagged as possible duplicates, and you choose to keep, replace or merge each one.

How many flights can I import for free?

Your first 10 flights and 10 city pins are free, with no card. If your file has more than 10 flights, Free keeps the 10 most recent; Pro imports the rest.

Is Waymarka a live flight tracker?

No. Waymarka is a flight log and travel pin map for flights you've taken. It doesn't track flights live and doesn't send alerts.
