If a person uses a real live TA (whats that you ask
) they too should see some type of message pop up on their screen, just as other messages do.If not at least the person has to go after, if that helps any.
Airport change and overnight warnings are things that are rendered by the display engine, not the booking engine. It would be similarly easy to display a note for all UA/AA fares that all checked bags require payment or on all US fares that it costs $7 for a $0.50 beer, but for the system to also query against the various baggage embargo schedules and produce that information via the GDS would be a very expensive query in terms of computer processing time. And I'm not even sure that the GDSes support storing that type of information in their data structures.
I agree that it would be nice to see (though I haven't checked bags in who knows how long), but I wouldn't expect any travel booking vehicle to display the information any time soon. A good TA might know to check on some routes but that would be based on personal knowledge, not a screen pop.
