As travel ramps up and I find myself with airlines other than AC on my PNRs, I was getting annoyed at how complicated it was to go select seats, update FQTVs, etc.

So I've removed the "Manage My Booking" link.



Now each airline can (emphasis on the word "can") have its own link. So far, it's just AC and LX.

For this to be trivial, the airline needs to support a link like https://www.swiss.com/in/en/Login/Pn...Locator=ABC123

For it to be a little less trivial, it needs to support a simple POST request that effectively does the same thing. Unfortunately, UA seems even more complicated, but I'll admit I've put very little time into searching.

I'll try to get a few of the common ones I use, but without bookings with those airlines, I can't do much experimentation.

In theory, seat selection and check-in links should also be possible, but that's less important to me.

Edit: I now have A3, AC, ET, LH, LX, NH, SK, SN, TG, TP, VA
