I booked a BA flight on Friday via our corporate travel agent, the flight ticketed in the early hours of this morning. At lunchtime it occurred to me to add this trip to the MyFlights app but I get the message: "The airline has blocked Amadeus from accessing this booking."
I have never had a problem before with the 60+ trips I have showing in my past bookings (mostly booked via the same travel agent). I checked the flight here: https://classic.checkmytrip.com/plne...&SITE=XCMTXXNS and everything looks fine so I wonder if there is a problem somewhere between BA/Amadeus/MyFlights?

I have a booking with a codeshare that is doing funny things. I'm flying on IB3177 LHR-MAD on 30th March, and My Flights App says "Operated by British Airways". To be fair, my booking confirmation from LastMinute.com also says that, but I'm 95% sure that the flight is on Iberia metal. Google Flights shows the flight as BA518 "Operated by Iberia".
Is this just a mistake in Amadeus that My Flights App is passing on, or is My Flights App making the mistake? To be fair, I also thought that it was BA metal when I booked it for some reason, but I've now realised my mistake (I think...).

If you look at the ExpertFlyer availability listings, for example, you should see IB3177 listed as "IB (**) 3177", and if you hover over the "**" you'll get a pop-up that says "operated by Iberia".

In the case of BA 518 / IB 3177:

Is it? I thought it was confirmed that it was simply the rather mundane reason that IB's systems don't work with the T5 systems, so the workaround is to pretend that the flights are "BA" flights by giving them a BA prime code at T5.

It's because a "BA" prime code is given for both BA- and IB-operated departures from LHR (together with an IB codeshare) and an "IB" prime code is given for both BA- and IB-operated departures from MAD (together with a BA codeshare). It's supposed to represent the happy marriage of the two airlines. But really just confuses everyone who doesn't look very carefully at the distinction between the prefix of the prime code and the operating carrier.

Ah, well thanks all for the explanation! I was worried I would have to have my first CE "afternoon tea" experience, but looks like I'll be getting whatever the IB equivalent is instead.

Hi Chris,
Thanks again for the great app. Came across a random glitch today — I have an itinerary that involves ISG airport (Ishigaki). The map shows Ishigaki as being somewhere in Colombia, rather than off the coast of Taiwan! Seems to be an isolated glitch as all the other Japanese outlying islands are in the right place...

This is massively inconsequential (but hey, it’s FT 
) but I noticed that Avianca Brasil (O6) does not have an airline logo showing in the app, which makes my otherwise pretty list of past flights have a bit of a gap in it.
(I believe legally the airline is Oceanair, but it uses the Avianca brand)
