Import flights from Miles & More

Miles & More (Lufthansa Group's frequent-flyer program) doesn't offer a self-service export button, but it exposes your own flight history as JSON through an authenticated API endpoint you can open directly in your browser while logged in.

Export from Miles & More:

1. Log in to your account at miles-and-more.com.
2. In the same browser, open https://api.travelid.lufthansa.com/flightstats/v3/me/segmentList?departureDateRange=10000%20months&size=10000&page=0.
3. Save the JSON response shown in your browser as a .json file (e.g. via "Save Page As" or your browser's dev tools).

Import the JSON file into AirTrail:

1. Open the AirTrail application.
2. Go to the settings page and open the Import tab.
3. Choose the source "Miles & More".
4. Select the JSON file you saved.
5. Click Import.

Notes and limitations:

• Fare/booking class letters (e.g. F, C, M) are mapped to AirTrail's seat class on a best-effort basis and may not be accurate for every operating carrier — double-check imported seat classes.
• Aircraft types are matched from Miles & More's IATA type codes against a built-in lookup table; uncommon types may not be recognized and are left blank.
• The PNR and Miles & More loyalty numbers (award/status miles, status/GUP/HON points) have no equivalent field in AirTrail and are appended to the flight's note instead.

Import flights from AirTrail JSON files

Once you have the JSON file, you can import it into AirTrail by following these steps:

1. Go to the AirTrail application.
2. Go to the settings page.

5. Click on "Select file" and select the JSON file you want to import.

After the import process is complete, you will see your flights on the map.

AirTrail offers two import modes:

• Personal import is available to every user. Select the account in the export that belongs to you. AirTrail imports only that account's flights and adds other passengers as guests.
• Instance restore is available to admins and owners. Enable "Restore flights for all mapped users" to preserve user assignments and deduplicate against every flight on the instance.

AirTrail treats uploaded files as untrusted. The server rejects personal imports that assign flights to another local user, even if the file or client requests those assignments.
