Does your mum ever wonder how many flights you've taken this year? Or how far you've flown this decade? Well mine does, and she asks me all the time. Rather than continually invent numbers off the top of my head I made Air Smiles instead, so I can give her highly approximate facts and figures on how much damage I'm causing the planet. You too can stop lying to a close relative or boring friend by tracking your flights with Air Smiles. You can even import a boarding pass from Wallet if you find selecting two airports and a date too much hassle. Air Smiles shows a map view for each flight with a comically inaccurate flight path, so you can see which landmarks you flew over, near, or, more likely, dozens of miles away from. Your flight data never leaves your device, both because I care about your privacy and I couldn't care less where you've flown to (although if you do fly somewhere interesting, drop me a line; I'd love to hear about it). Safe travels!
