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.

This is more useful than the Air Canada app!

If anyone is *S and could confirm that shows up properly, it would be appreciated. It seems all my friends are either *G or nothing.

AC*S shows up properly for one of my upcoming trips. Great job, cow!

My AP award tickets came up the same way, without an AP number. I had to go through AC (or on one case the operating carrier's site) to add the number. Immediately after, the tool showed my number and status.

If only AP/AC could make (real) enhancements this fast.

Can anyone help me make sense of what TK means? I’m not planning to take the flight from YUL to YQB tomorrow (arranged my own transport after the initial YUL => YQB cancellation), but am worried that the subsequent HK segments will be cancelled when I no-show for the TK segment. Any advice? Should I still expect to have the HK segments, or is there something I have to call in tonight to fix?

Excellent work!

FWIW, my multi-segment (14), multi-booking code (3) multi-carrier (7) mRTW is showing up complete, near as I can tell.

Happy to see "HK"s across the board as well, as for several weeks the first six flights had been cancelled.

Thanks CC.

TK - Scheduled change
UN - no flight

I guess you might need to speak to someone (either on call or at airport) so that they don't mark you as a no show for the YUL - YQB segment. Having said, I am not an expert in this scenario - hence I will differ it to the veterans

I believe EVA (BR) does, as is Thai (TG), as my recent trip shows (same PNR, same online check-in detail carried through)

As such, I've cobbled some stuff together.

I'm also happy to take requests for other data you might want to see.
Any thought of open sourcing the code for those that may want to extend or utilize it internally for other purposes?

The terms from the API provider don't permit that.

On an AE itinerary involving 2 legs on AC and one on UA, I can see my seats for the AC legs but not the UA one. Should I be worried? The seats seem fine on UA.com.

All that really matters is that you can see it on UA.

That being said, I also have an Aeroplan ticket with a UA segment and the seat shows up.

Can you add the new button that's on aircanada.com accepting changes and moving TK to HK?

Thanks. I actually should call UA to clean this up as there has been many, many changes on the AC legs (surprising, I know!) and UA seems confused about them.

That will be tough, but it's something I've been trying to do since I created this, and I will continue trying.

Since you already added the other links that are on the bookings on aircanada.com, should just be an extra link to the same page that their new button links to, no?
