2026 in the Air
Live pages: 2026 flight log + story · Make your own flight log + Story · 2026 story · 2027 flight log · Same log on claude.ai
Live status: the web pages (index.html, story.html) mark each flight "flown" only after its landing time passes, and refresh themselves when the next flight lands. The Story pictures are dated Dec 20, 2026 (after the last flight).
Yearly logs: 2026 is wrapped up (this page). From January, the 2027 flight log fills in automatically from new booking emails; see automation/README.md.
Make your own: see the Flight Log Kit, a copy-paste prompt plus fill-in template (works from your email too).

14 flights · 4 airports (SEA, SFO, SJC, DFW) · 6 airlines (Delta, United, Southwest, Alaska, Frontier, American)
Airline logos: Delta, Southwest, Alaska, Frontier and American are the official SVGs from Wikimedia Commons (public domain, pictures/logos-official/). Alaska uses the official script with an "AIRLINES" line set beneath it (AS-mark.svg). American uses the official wordmark plus a drawn look-alike of its flight symbol (AA-mark.svg). United has no current logo on Commons, so it's a drawn globe + wordmark (pictures/logos.js). Maps use us-atlas and world-atlas outlines.
