myFlightradar24 Alternative for Your Flight Log

myFlightradar24 is the flight logbook that belongs to Flightradar24, formerly known as Flightdiary.net. It has been around since 2010 and many travelers keep years of flights in it. This page is for people who want a different home for that history, and explains how to take it with you.

Why do people look for a myFlightradar24 alternative?

Flightradar24 presents myFlightradar24 as a personal flight logbook: you see all your flights on a map and get statistics on your most visited airports, most flown aircraft, CO2 emissions and more. It is a logbook attached to a tracking service. People who look elsewhere usually want one of these things:

• A logbook built as a mobile app, with offline use.
• Ways to add flights beyond typing them in, such as scanning a boarding pass or forwarding a booking email.
• A globe, a map of visited countries, a passport page or a collection of aircraft types.
• A history that lives in an app dedicated to the diary, rather than inside a tracking service.

Whatever the reason, you can leave without losing anything: myFlightradar24 lets you download a CSV file of all your flights.

What should you look for in a replacement?

• Import of your CSV. Check that the app reads the myFlightradar24 export, so you do not retype your history.
• Offline use. A diary should work in airplane mode.
• Several ways to add flights. Flight number lookup, boarding pass scanning, email forwarding and calendar import.
• Statistics. Distance, time in the air, countries, airports, airlines, routes and aircraft types, year by year.
• Maps. Routes on a globe or map, and visited countries.
• Export. You should be able to take your data out again, in CSV or JSON.
• Privacy. Know which data syncs and which stays on your phone.

Which options exist?

• Stay on myFlightradar24. Its CSV export is simple, so keeping the account as a backup costs you nothing.
• OpenFlights. A web-based logbook with maps and statistics, covered in OpenFlights alternatives.
• FlightLog. A flight diary for iPhone, iPad and Android that imports the myFlightradar24 CSV file.

What does FlightLog offer?

• Adding flights: type a flight number and date and the schedule lookup fills airports and times, scan a paper or digital boarding pass, photograph a booking confirmation, forward booking emails to your personal import address, or import trips from the phone calendar.
• Statistics: total distance in kilometers or miles, time in the air, flights, countries, airports, airlines, routes and aircraft types, with a carbon estimate based on DEFRA factors.
• Maps: all routes on an interactive 3D globe and a 2D map, and a visited countries map.
• Aircraft: type and registration per flight, an aircraft collection and seat maps.
• Passport: a page of passport-style entry stamps, one per country, in the order you first flew there, each with the flight number and the number of flights to that country.
• Live tracking: any plane from ADS-B data, with position, altitude, speed and heading.

It is available in 33 languages and works offline, with optional account sync. Every feature is free with your 10 most recent flights active, and Premium unlocks the complete history: $4.99 per month, $29.99 per year or $99.99 once.

More detail is in how to export your myFlightradar24 flights.

What do you keep and what do you lose?

FlightLog imports the flight number and airline, the date and times, the departure and arrival airports, the aircraft type, the tail number, the cabin class, the seat and your notes.

• Some older entries only carry a year or a month. FlightLog fills the missing part rather than dropping the flight.
• Rows where both times are 00:00 are treated as unknown times, not midnight departures.
• Old flights with no flight number are imported too, as long as the route and date are in the file.
• Anything outside the fields above stays in your CSV. Keep the file as a backup.

Can I keep using myFlightradar24 as well?

Yes. An export does not delete anything. Your myFlightradar24 account stays as it is, and you can export again later. Importing into FlightLog flags flights that are already in your journal, so repeating the import does not create duplicates.

Is there a limit on how many flights I can import?

FlightLog reads up to 5,000 rows from a single file, far more than most journals hold. Below that ceiling, every flight in the file is imported, nothing is silently discarded.

Do I need Premium to import?

Importing is free while you are under the free limit of 10 flights. The import that takes you past it still goes through in full: the extra flights stay visible but locked, and nothing is ever deleted. Once you are over the limit, further imports need Premium.
