I only came across MyFlights this year so I was relatively late to the party, but it has already become invaluable to me and is one of my most-used apps. Such a shame.

I have to say, I’m a bit disappointed with Amadeus’ approach here. While I’m far from a data protection expert, if this restriction was really required by GDPR then wouldn’t it have had to be implemented immediately (i.e. with Amadeus invoking an Applicable Law clause to restrict access) rather than waiting for the contract to renew? It strikes me that this could well be a commercial decision dressed up as a regulatory change. If so, that’s poor (and anti-competitive) form from Amadeus to try and drive custom to CheckMyTrip.

Thanks again Chris. I hope that the TA version of MyFlights works out for you, as it would be a real shame for such a useful tool to go to complete waste.

Best, Richard

(EDIT: Just realised that GDPR doesn’t come into effect until May 2018. That makes a bit more sense...)
