We used web check-in to select a seat. I found that the seat selection was not visible on Amadeus' checkmytrip.com.
Does it mean data put directly into the airlines system are not updated back to the "GDS" reservation systems? Or is it just because of the "closed" status?
Does DCS really stand for Departure Control System? Can someone confirm this?
Furthermore: The reply says "USE >4.....". Does it mean with a different command (if we had direct access to the dialogue session) we could still see seat maps?
Sometimes its nice to have a look at the seat map shortly before check-in.
