Your personal flight logbook, finally done right
Most people don't think they need a flight logbook. That's fair. You book a flight, you fly, you land, you move on. But then something happens. A friend asks where you've been in the last few years and you genuinely can't remember. You try to piece together your Qantas status and end up scrolling through six months of booking confirmations. You want to know how many countries you've visited and you're not sure if it's 14 or 17. You start to realise your travel history exists in fragments across your inbox, your photos app, your memory, and nowhere else useful.
Jetmap fixes that. Not in a complicated way. You add your flights, and everything else takes care of itself. The map fills in. The stats calculate. The status tracking updates. Five minutes after signing up, you'll see your travel history in one place for the first time, and it's going to be more interesting than you expected.
The practical problems it solves are real ones. Booking confirmations get archived and lost. TripIt and similar services come and go, and your data goes with them. Frequent flyer programs don't always make it obvious where you stand, especially when you're spread across multiple airlines. And there's no airline in the world that's going to send you a beautifully formatted record of everywhere you've been. That's not their job. It's yours. Jetmap just makes it easy.

Stats that actually mean something
Most people who start logging flights think they've done maybe 20 or 30. Then they sit down and actually log them, and it's 60. Or 80. The hours in the air add up to weeks. The distance adds up to multiple laps of the earth. You knew you travelled, but you didn't know how much until you saw it clearly.
What people actually discover surprises them. Busiest months cluster around the same time every year. A favourite airport keeps coming up. One airline has carried them further than they realised. Someone discovers they've visited 12 countries but only 3 of them were for leisure.
On a practical level, tax time is easier when you know exactly which flights were work trips, and insurance claims are simpler when you have dates, routes, and airlines on hand.
A map worth looking at
The map isn't decoration. There's something that happens when you see your actual routes drawn on a globe that doesn't happen when you read a list of airports. Patterns emerge visually that you wouldn't notice otherwise.
Jetmap offers different map projections because they all show different things. A Mercator projection makes Europe look huge and Australia look manageable. An orthographic globe view shows you just how far away everything actually is.
Filter by year and you can see what 2023 looked like versus 2019. Filter by airline and you realise just how loyal you've actually been. The map responds to questions you didn't know you had.
Frequent flyer tracking
The problem most people have isn't that they don't care about status. It's that the programs make it surprisingly hard to know exactly where you stand. How many credits did that last flight earn? What's the anniversary date for your tier? Will the booking you're about to make push you over the threshold, or will you fall just short?
A lot of people lose Gold or Platinum because they don't realise their anniversary is six weeks away and they're 800 credits short. Knowing the date and the gap gives you time to do something about it.
The scenario planner lets you model a hypothetical flight to see exactly what it would add to your status credits before you book — the kind of tool that used to exist only in spreadsheets.
Your data, your way
Your flight log is yours. Export it as a CSV at any time, or export a PDF logbook formatted like an actual aviation logbook. If you ever want to leave Jetmap, you leave with everything.
Import is just as flexible. CSV import works with most flight tracking apps. You can paste in a booking confirmation email and the app pulls the details automatically. Getting started doesn't mean starting from zero.
Who uses Jetmap
Different people use it for different reasons. Here are the most common ones.
The business traveller
Your whole relationship with flying is probably about status. The difference between Gold and Platinum isn't just lounge access — it's upgrade priority, bonus points on every fare, complimentary seat selection. Worth hundreds of dollars a year in real terms.
"Will this booking push me to Gold?" Jetmap answers that before you book, not after you've missed the tier.
The aviation enthusiast
You probably already track things in a spreadsheet or a notebook. Jetmap is just a better version of that. Aircraft types, seat numbers, tail numbers, flight numbers. The satisfaction of logging a new aircraft type for the first time.
"Have I flown this plane before?" Aircraft reunions — discovering you've flown a particular 737 three times across different airlines over ten years — are a real feature.
The leisure traveller
You don't fly constantly, but the trips you do take matter to you. Your travel history exists mostly in your head and your photo library. You're proud of where you've been, but you'd struggle to list it all in order.
"Where have I actually been since 2020?" Jetmap turns it into something you can look at and share — a real record instead of a vague impression.
The points strategist
You're deep in the points game. Multiple loyalty programs, complex earning rules, unclear optimal strategy. Juggling Qantas Frequent Flyer, Velocity, maybe a Star Alliance program or two.
"Which flights actually maximise my credits?" The multi-program tracking shows you where credits are building and where they're being wasted.
How it works
Setup takes about five minutes. Here's what that looks like.
Sign up
Just your email and a password. No credit card, nothing else. You're logged in and ready to go immediately.
Add your first flight
Three ways to do it: type the details manually, paste a booking confirmation email, or import a CSV. However you do it, the flight appears on your map straight away.
Explore your dashboard
Stats calculate automatically as you add flights. The map fills in. Set up your frequent flyer program and it starts tracking from the first flight you enter.
Discover patterns
Start filtering. Look at your busiest year. Find out which airline has carried you the most. These are the discoveries that make people log flights they'd been putting off for years.
Share or keep private
Make your profile public so friends can see your map and stats, or keep everything private. The default is private. Nothing goes anywhere without you choosing it.
Why log your flights?
The honest answer is that most people don't think about it until something happens. A service shuts down and takes their data with it. They try to claim a travel expense and can't find the confirmation. They want to know how much they've flown this year and have to guess. Then they wish they'd been keeping track.
Data loss is real. Email archives get corrupted or migrated badly. The trips you took ten years ago are already fading from memory. Without a record, the details disappear, and at some point you stop being able to reconstruct them at all.
There's also the practical side. Knowing exactly where you stand with your frequent flyer programs isn't just satisfying. It's strategically useful. The people who consistently hit elite tiers aren't necessarily flying more. They're flying smarter, because they know their numbers.
And then there's the part that's harder to articulate, which is that your travel history is genuinely interesting. Where do you actually go versus where you think you go? How much of your flying is work and how much is genuinely for you? Seeing it all in one place answers questions you didn't realise you had, and often the answers are more surprising than you'd expect.
What people tend to say after they've been using Jetmap for a month is some version of the same thing: they can't believe they didn't do this earlier. Not because it's complicated or impressive, but because it's useful in a way they didn't anticipate.

Common questions
Do I need to log every single flight?
No. Some people log everything going back to their very first flight. Others just track recent trips. You set the scope and can fill in gaps whenever you feel like it.
Is my flight data actually private?
Completely. Your profile is private by default. Nothing is ever public unless you specifically choose to share it.
Can I import flights from other apps?
Yes. CSV import works with most flight tracking apps. You can also paste booking confirmation emails directly and the app pulls the details. Getting started doesn't mean starting from scratch.
What if I don't remember all the details of old flights?
Log what you know. Approximate dates are fine. You can fill in details later, or leave them incomplete. A partial record is still useful.
Is a credit card required?
No. The free plan is fully functional and needs nothing except your email address to sign up.
What happens if I want to leave?
Export your data as CSV or PDF anytime, no restrictions. You can also delete your account and all associated data whenever you want.
Can I track multiple frequent flyer programs?
Yes. That's a Premium feature. You can track Qantas, Velocity, and international programs simultaneously with progress bars and anniversary date tracking for each.
How much does Premium cost?
$49 AUD per year, or $9.99 per month. Cancel anytime, no lock-in.
Is Jetmap affiliated with any airline?
No. Completely independent. Not owned by any airline or loyalty program.
What's the scenario planner?
A Premium tool that lets you model a hypothetical flight to see its impact on your status credits before you book. It doesn't save the flight — it just shows you the numbers so you can make a better decision.
Can I print my logbook?
Yes. The PDF export is formatted like a proper aviation logbook. Print it, save it, or share it.
How long does setup actually take?
Five minutes to sign up and add your first flight. Realistically, you'll spend longer exploring once you see it working.
