Examples

Book a BA flight, I credit to BAEC, I am logged into my BAEC account, all good

Book an IB flight on iberia.com, credit it to my BAEC account. IB app will not remember the PNR and I am not logging in to my IB account because a) I do not have one and b) I am crediting the flights to BA

Same as above goes for most airlines I find, AA, CX flights I have coming up, have to manually tap in my PNR each time. Might as well just print a regular boarding pass.

Would be really nice if myflightapp or similar could access PNRs in both Amadeus and Sabre and then add the boarding passes to Passbook, even if it meant having all of the apps in a folder and myflightapp having access to the airline app. Unless something is going to remember all my PNRs then it is not worthwhile.

Of course if you are 100% one airline and credit those miles to that airline and log into your account via the app then I am sure this is ideal.

If I am being an idiot and there is a glaringly obvious solution to this problem then please set me straight and share it.

Isn't that more of a airline app issue though?
Airlines have a pretty complicated ticketing system with partner awards, internal awards, cash tickets, award upgrades, internal booking number, internal booking number, partner code, partner ticket number, etc etc.

The only thing I'd like to see is for Passbook to be able to scan more boarding passes.
