Why split a return flight?

A return flight in MileHunter has always stored one date for the whole trip, which is fine until your outbound and inbound legs happen on different dates that you want reflected correctly, or you just prefer your flight list to read like a log of individual flights rather than round trips. Up to now, the only way to get there was to delete the return entry and log both legs again from scratch, re-entering the route, cabin and airline twice.

How it works

Any flight logged as a return trip now shows a small split icon next to the edit and delete buttons in your flight list.

The split icon appears only on flights logged as a return trip.

Click it and MileHunter shows you exactly what the split will produce before you commit to it — the outbound leg and the inbound leg as two separate flights, each with its own points, Qualifying Points and HON Circle Points.

Confirm, and the original return entry is replaced by two independent one-way flights. MileHunter dates the inbound leg one day after the outbound leg by default, and each flight can be edited, paused or deleted on its own from that point on — including adjusting either date if your actual travel dates were different.

Your totals stay exactly the same

Splitting only changes how the trip is displayed and organized. The points, Qualifying Points and HON Circle Points are carried over from the original segments, so your yearly totals and status progress do not move at all — you just get two entries instead of one.

Available now, free and Pro

The split action works the same way whether your flights are stored locally on the free plan or synced to the cloud on Pro. It is live in the dashboard now — look for the split icon next to any return flight.

Frequently asked questions

Does splitting a return flight change my points total?
No. The two resulting one-way flights together add up to exactly the same points, Qualifying Points and HON Circle Points as the original return flight.
Can I undo a split?
There is no one-click undo, but since splitting only creates two normal one-way flights, you can delete both and log the return flight again if you change your mind.
Does the split button work on one-way flights or manual/bonus entries?
No, it only appears on flights originally logged as a return trip, since those are the only entries that bundle an outbound and inbound leg together.
Is this available on the free plan?
Yes. Splitting works the same for free users with locally stored flights and for Pro users with cloud-synced flights.
