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.

Okay it should now show "SE MM+ (Black CC)" for you. I believe the "MM+" matches the boarding pass?

Checking my PNR for a flight reward using my wife's points, I was disappointed to see no AC status. When I then checked with the AC site, for some reason it had not been entered. Within seconds of entering it the PNR tool displays "50k MM Black card", so now I am thoroughly impressed. in that it alerted me to the lack of status with the booking - which, as I am planning on 3 bags full sir, could have been messy at the airport. I also had a plane change from 789 to 333, but the pods are identical* so I am OK with that.
Thanks Cow!
* yes, I know. maybe an inch or so.

Another minor change relating to codeshares:
It currently shows it calculated based on operating airline and marketing fare class. I chose that because it handles AC P operated by LH, but it obviously breaks down in other cases (like AC N operated by SK, which shows as 0, but earns 125).
I'm certainly open suggestions on what to do here, but aside from VERY few exceptions, I haven't found a way to get the operating airline fare class.

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
