Dear Air Canada,
Please release an updated beta before my 20 flights this weekend. It doesn't need to be perfect, just better. Maybe some login action. Maybe just some general bug fixes. I'll take what I can get.
Sincerely,
Scott

These flights are spread over multiple PNRs, but they all show up in chronological order in the flight status tab.
And unlike just having departure times (cough TripIt widget cough), I can actually get a good estimate of my connection time.
At the moment, this screen is more useful for me than TripIt. They both get updated at the same time when there are delays, but this one has more useful information.
Aside from that, the interface is native, much faster, and much smoother.
Sure, stuff is broken, but that's certainly true in the old app right now.

You know what would be nice? Unlike the dumb website, it would be great if they had one full list of all your currently booked flights from AP, Flight Wallet, and a la carte bookings... all based on your AP number (of course, those AP rewards booked on someone else's account would need to be manually inputted by the user).
Now that would be something.

Yes, it will disappear if it's cancelled. It will change if it's modified.
It will pull in all bookings based on Aeroplan number before it leaves beta, but I don't know if that's "all" like the old app, or actually all.

So now I want to know what will happen when they start protecting you on multiple flights by holding space on the PNR.
Also. What are.you going to do for 6 hours in Nanaimo?............

For sure. I trust that when all is said and done this app will be a major upgrade from the current one. I wish the 80 days would go by sooner!
