I'm surprised that no one has yet had a go at them on Twitter.

I don't see them responding very proactively on Twitter, just using it as a marketing tool, so what's the point?

Does My Flights still (or has it ever) link to Sabre?
So if my booking includes AA segments would it still work?

Whilst it was using Sabre too, the problem in your scenario is it still won't work since in a mixed BA/AA booking it won't take the BA Amadeus PNR now, and since AA don't allow third party access to their Sabre reservations it won't take the AA PNR either. There is no PNR you could use on myflights.

In fact this was one long standing issue which was if you had a wholly AA itinerary so only an AA PNR you couldn't add it to myflights.

Ah. Damn. Was worth a try!
Thanks KARFA.

I do hope this works out. Just in case the pressure of a stream of negative reviews is helping to focus Amadeus's mind I've added mine.

just did my first ever app review (and it was 1 star).

annoyingly, the app store only told me after I had typed it that someone else had already taken 'chris1979' and also my alternative nickname so it took 3 typings

I'm called Chris and I was born in 1979 but it wasn't me!

haha.

I am allergic to being called Chris - yes, unfortunate choice of handle many many many years ago.

good name though and good year!

Reviews now appearing in the App Store.

Nobody seems to have a good word for it
