Feature Requests / Bug Reports
  • More direct links to partner airline "manage booking" pages
  • For points bookings, show how many points were used
  • Sometimes when you have UN segments, it doesn't show the entire PNR
  • How about a one tool using the other: PNR lookup tool could show R space available Y/N if pax isn't already upgraded.
  • Can seat # be a clickable link to carrier manage booking/seat?
  • Display ticket create date/time, helpful to know when reticketed due to schedule change.

It seems like call times are back to normal (or better than normal), so can you call in to clean them up?

It's very useful for showing you exactly what you need to call in about.

But yes... I put in some effort every now and then trying to get it working again. I have some more ideas on how to get it working. One of these days...

So after spending ~9 hours writing code today, I decided to spend another few hours... writing code.

Does anyone have a PNR with a UN segment on it that they can send me to test something?

I have something "reasonable" working with my bookings, but my bookings are all pretty simple these days.

Edit: Got what I needed, thanks

Here's where I'm at right now. I might solicit a few more testers during the do tonight, but I'm hoping to turn this back on before end of weekend, albeit with some more limited functionality.

Thanks to those who helped test. It's back online at https://api.ft.canadiancow.com/pnr/pnr, but with only the information shown in my previous screenshot.

Please let me know if anything is wrong, or if data in any of the present columns are missing, but I am aware it is not showing as much information as before. I will work to improve it back to its former glory.

Tried out the cowtool on 2 award bookings far into the future. No problems, other than my lack of the ability to read a schedule change. At first i thought the cowtool was wrong as it gave the wrong departure day for my first flight in the trip......but the tool was right and I had not realized s schedule change I had received was actually not just a departure time change but also was a day earlier than what i had booked (and thought I still had).

Thanks !

Unfortunately not working for me. I have a really screwed up booking that had about 10 changes and cancellation and I have done nothing with it yet. I'm going to cancel it for a credit so no point in cleaning it up.

My bookings that are all HK work with the tool though.

Would you mind PMing me the reference and last name before you cancel? It's a useful test case to add.
