hello all,
not sure if this is the right place to post it, but I'm curious about one thing.

I have reserved a flight for march with different airlines, Lufthansa, Swiss and Austrian; for all reservations I received what looks like an Amadeus 6-digit code.

Out of curiosity I went to checkmytrip.com and entered the reservation number; the Lufthansa and Austrian flight showed up correctly, the Swiss one was not found.

That got me thinking and turns out there are several booking systems around, o joy. :rolleyes:
Also, I was quite surprised that although all three companies are part of miles and more, only two use Amadeus.

Anyway, a question for all fellow FT'ers here...
what system does Swiss use? and for this system, is there a checkmytrip-like site?

I googled for a while but couldn't find anything serious. I also found this this (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/archive/t-383422.html) but that dates back to 2005...
I also know I can check on Swiss' site, but checkmytrip gives way more details.

thanks!

Swiss do not use the Amadeus system. There is no "checkmytrip" style site as the system configuration they use is unique to Swiss.
