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.

My wife's status is now wrong, again.
Context: she had 50k status until end of February. She qualified and got 35k status. However, pretty much as soon as the window opened on March 2, I gifted her lifetime 50k status (from my 2 MM package). 50k status immediately reflected on aircanada.com etc. But somehow the cowtool shows her as 35k still.
Incidentally for our flights on March 1, boarding passes etc still reflected 50k even though it should have lapsed by then and I could not yet gift her the lifetime status until the following day.

DCS fetches it on its own ~4 days before departure, so a flight on March 1 would show status from Feb ~26.
I suspect if you remove her number (or change it to UA if you can't remove it) and then add it back, it will show up correctly.

This is just pulling the status off the PNR. Pre-Amadeus, that status was set when you added the number, and never again. I'm not sure exactly how Amadeus does it.

I don't see an option to remove the aeroplan number from a booking, either on aircanada.com or on the app. Only change seats, or cancel.

I know this is a lot to ask, but if you have some time and want to call res and ask what status it shows her as on the PNR, I'd be curious.
My suspicion is the PNR will still say E35K even if they can separately pull her up as E50K.
Or send me the reference and I'll see if it's possible I'm making a mistake, but I'm confident the data is sending "F" or I wouldn't be showing E35K.

When you enter a new AE number (i.e. reneter, have previously removed and saved), it gets "validated." The web interface says it's "validates," and then it shows status. And it correctly shows 50k status.
It showd 50k on the file before I removed, and continues showing 50k after I reentered. And so does it on the app, and on my account (we are both on the same PNR).
Sure.

PNR says she's *S.
AC.com might be pulling it from one place, but Amadeus is getting it from another.

I'm not sure you'd be able to correct for it. But on an AC TATL flight with LH/OS connections booked Lat/B on all segments; however, the AC segments eUpgraded show AQM properly even though RBD is "R"; however, the other segments show 0% now that RBD is "I" after a Star Alliance upgrade.
