Hi all,
Long-time lurker here, but frequent reader of the discussions.
I want to start by acknowledging and thanking SLF for their past work on MileageMonkey, which was an incredibly useful tool for validating oneworld Explorer itineraries. Sadly, it now seems to have been retired permanently.
Having thought about it recently, I have created (or perhaps more accurately vibe-coded my way to) a modern version with the current rule set implemented as accurately as I could translate the published PDF rules into testable logic. I have also tried to structure it in a way that should make future rule changes easier to implement.
A few important things to note:
This tool is very much a beta. Things may be broken, incomplete, or behave unexpectedly.
It validates the rules of the itinerary only. It does not validate whether a route is actually flown by any oneworld airline, or for that matter sensible. So, for example, if you enter something ridiculous like GUM-HEL or AKL-KTM, the tool will accept it if the itinerary otherwise passes the rule checks.
I have also implemented Qantas Frequent Flyer earning estimates based on the relevant earn tables, including the ability to select a carrier for each sector. The main caveat here is that it currently uses only the L, D, and A fare buckets for calculations, so this is an area that will need further refinement. As with the routing component, you can select any carrier from the dropdown without validation that the airline operates that route.
Please also take a minute to read the full “Important: Read Me First” section on the tool page, as that gives further details about the current scope and limitations.
I would be very grateful if people were willing to try it out and see whether it behaves as expected. Feedback is very welcome, either through the feedback form or directly in this thread, whichever is easier.
The tool can be found here:
Oneworld Explorer Validator
Happy flying!
(Mods: if this is better placed in the oneworld thread, feel free to move it, and accept my apologies)
