My spreadsheet worked until it became too annoying to maintain consistently.

I wanted a setup that still felt fun once the novelty wore off.

The biggest difference has been actually keeping the data current after each trip.

This is the kind of cleanup or optimization work that feels small at first and then pays off every single trip afterward.

I had the same reaction: once the data finally lives in one place, the stats and patterns feel much more real and useful.

The best part is usually not the number itself, it is the clarity you get once old flights, passes, and habits stop being scattered everywhere.

I wanted a setup that still felt fun once the novelty wore off. That is what makes these forum updates fun to read because they are about real travel behavior, not just theory.
