Ah now there's actually a very good reason for this. It's because I'm an idiot! I've submitted a fix to Apple - fingers crossed within 24 hours normal service will be resumed

If only it didn't mean I have to create yet another account on something I'll likely only use for 4 weeks/year and then forget about.
Why do these useful sites like checkmytrip or virtuallythere keep dumping the useful site and go to app based while forcing everyone to create accounts.

I understand that having another password to remember can be a pain. That said, it's pretty much the only way of having your data available to whatever device you used, and automatically synced across them.
I did use iCloud for a while, but that had 2 limitations... 1) it's iOS only, so you wouldn't be able to access bookings on the web, and 2) it was very slow
There's a reset password facility on MyFlights, so if you do forget your details, you can reset them quickly anytime. Also, the app and site will keep you signed in until you sign out (or until you delete the app and re-install)
Also just to mention - I've got no plans of dumping the web version of MyFlights - I find it very useful personally when I'm on the phone for example and have my laptop in front of me to have quick access to my bookings.

I believe I've got the most updated version of the app downloaded, but each time I choose time zone in a manually added booking and type into the search box, it crashes the app. It's find if I choose say "America" from the right hand options and scroll to a city, but not if I type in myself.
Thanks
Thanks

I'm trying to manually add a flight and LAS Las Vegas doesn't exist as an airport option to me - keeps defaulting to an airport in Guatemala (Rio Dulce)
Also worth noting, I believe I've got the most updated version of the app downloaded, but each time I choose time zone in a manually added booking and type into the search box, it crashes the app. It's find if I choose say "America" from the right hand options and scroll to a city, but not if I type in myself. (Las Vegas isn't a timezone city either but that might be by design).
Thanks

For the airport list, LAS is actually in there, but it's listed under McCarran (so if you type in LAS you'll see it under M). I've made an update on the version I've submitted to Apple to have the ordering by Airport Code rather than Airport Name to make it clearer - you'll see that in a couple of days.
Cheers,
Chris

I've submitted a fix for this to apple which tells the user in a much nicer way than a crash

Hi @florens - this happens if you've said that MyFlights isn't allowed to use the camera. If you go to Home Screen -> Settings -> MyFlights and turn the camera privacy to enabled, it should be fine.
