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.
Unofficial AC PNR Viewing Tool (cowtool)

I originally booked one of the CGK - NA deep discount fare on Lufthansa last spring. There was a schedule change which allowed me to change for free into J, as there was no more P space. After the change, cowtool shows 33,011 in SQD (in Euro) for the transatlantic AC segment to FRA, but I got 91 SQD (in CAD) as expected.
I think cowtool has trouble tracking SQD on partner codeshare after a free change, since it's definitely not a currency issue. Was hoping AC system would have the same trouble tracking that too but alas.

I find the SQD numbers are generally correct (though sometimes in another currency), but this would be a first for it being way off that I've seen (excluding the other case where it was two separate tickets on one PNR).
Edit: PNR was only half flown, so I looked at it (thanks). The data's garbage. 50k base fare, 100k YQ. Okay.

Perfect timing on cowtool getting back up 
. I'm stuck with LH IROPS and have a partially UN PNR (reissued under LH ticket stock) that I can DM in case it helps troubleshoot the bug.
Also, the tool is showing that I will earn points on my rebooked award segments. I know it's YMMV on whether you earn points on an IROPS impacted trip, but there's still /AE2 at the end of my fare basis so I would've thought that would preclude me from earning AP points. Would be a welcome surprise if I'm wrong though.

Since the segments are not operated by AC, you might actually earn SQM.

I mean all this does is feed the segment data and cost information into the open-source calculator
Yes, I agree it's way easier to just load the PNR here. But it shouldn't be toooo hard to figure it out if you just take a receipt and input a few values

Many thanks for getting this back online.
Didn't realize how much I used it (daily) or depended on it (for all my PNR's)... haha.
Quick question: can you remind me the different Coupon statuses? ie) "Open For Use" vs "Airport Control"?
Booked a (somewhat) complex AE reward ticket for Oct - Nov for my partner and I with priority rewards. Have ticket numbers and confirmations, and all "HK" in the status column.
Just want to ensure all is fine.

That would have been interesting to look at before you flew and the PNR was still active
I find the SQD numbers are generally correct (though sometimes in another currency), but this would be a first for it being way off that I've seen (excluding the other case where it was two separate tickets on one PNR).
Edit: PNR was only half flown, so I looked at it (thanks). The data's garbage. 50k base fare, 100k YQ. Okay.

I have a datapoint where the SQD is off - it's a booking using a worldwide companion pass, and it's showing the companion's SQD amount correctly, but is also showing that same amount for the primary pax, rather than the full fare.

I do have one of my own bookings, so I may get around to fixing that.

I have a booking with legs on SK and AC and have used the feature in the SK app to set a different FF number on each segment. I see in the cowtool that both FF numbers are associated with the booking but I'm wondering if you can see how they have setup the SSR. Ideally I'd like AC for FQTS and SK for FQTV on the two SK legs, but I'd settle for FQTV to be properly set to the operating carrier for each leg.
I've had issues with Concur setting 2 FF numbers before, with the segments being credited to the wrong airlines so I'm hoping that the SK app does a better job of it.

It's just something that impacts so few people.
But it's also something you can't really verify yourself anywhere prior to getting a BP printed by that airline.
If you come up with a proposal for how to display it (maybe just including segment numbers in a tooltip on the FQTV?), I'll see what I can do.
