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.

Sorry, I've been on vacation. I gave it a kick the other day that seemed to fix things. Unfortunately I'm able to depart on a 7M8 so won't be able to take a look.
I have some plans to eliminate the 29s timeout, but life has been in the way.

Thanks for the link cow.
Just used it and have one comment. It seems sensitive to which browser you choose to use. Doesn't seem to like Tor or Yandex.
This is probably an AC IT thing however.

I guarantee it does not care what browser you use. This is basically the most basic HTML you can get. And it has nothing to do with AC IT.

Now it tells you if you have a status pass on the booking. I had a few recently where I had to check, and pulling it up on AC's website was such a pain.
Edit: Productive day!
I remove the columns for base fare and YQ (but kept SQD), and I added an SQM column... I don't know why I only had the percentage before.

I can't remember where I discussed this, but the SQM was being calculated incorrectly for flights that had a confirmed SAUA.
For example, an upcoming trip I have looked like this:
Because the fare class was "I" and it was operated by LX, it assumed 0%. I could have looked at the fare basis and assumed "B", but UA has a lot of fares like "GAA2AQFS" that book into "P", so I can't blindly do it.
However, I was able to grab the underlying class, so now for any upgraded segment (I included it for SAUA and eUps, because even with an eUp, an N fare might have booked into N or B, and it could be useful to know), it will show both the current and underlying class, and it uses the underlying for all SQM calculation. So now my trip looks accurate:
I know most of us aren't using SAUA much these days, but I hope it helps.

If you look in my previous post, you can see the SQD is really low. For some reason, it was unable to grab the base fare, so it only calculated the YQ. I've found a much better source for pricing/ticketing data, so now the SQD is accurate:
I also realized the base fare wasn't actually displayed anywhere, so I threw it on top of the tax table.
Let me know if anyone has an errors or incorrect base fare or taxes, because that logic has all been replaced.
Edit: Wow, the new source is waaaaay better.
Here's one Aeroplan booking that I knew was displaying the wrong taxes.

Hmm interesting question. I bet I could get the total cost, but I don't think I could break it down by bound. I don't even think I can do that for cash fares.

But for points tickets, we actually did some research on this a while back and couldn't seem to find any way to split it out. It may be in the now closed 2020 mega-thread. Not to say that the illustrious cow definitely couldn't find it, but I'm not convinced you could.

I'm more interested in doing it for cash fares, and I think it's easier to do for cash fares. But I don't think it's easy for cash fares.
Taking an afternoon break from my real job to work on this tool is quite useful though. But it helps when something about the tool is pissing me off.

I'm watching a handful of itineraries.
The ones that don't have my last name I get an error message.....
"An error occurred. Check your input and try again."
I am able to view all itineraries on ac.com
Any suggestions so I can view the itineraries that give an error message?

If send me the details privately, I can take a look.
