It’s hard to imagine losing such an intuitive and helpful tool. Good luck with whatever other adventure you will be focusing on and let’s hope it’s still connected to the world of travelling!

What a real shame, only just started to use this in the last 2 months and really liked the interface and readability of it vs. other flight detail apps and systems.

... and just to add one further layer of disappointment, I just reinstalled CheckMyTrip (as an alternative for when MyFlights closes).
It always used to be the inferior sibling of MyFlights, but my goodness! The app is a slow, bloated mess, with the information you need buried away and adverts all over the shop. It’s also struggling to recognise some of my PNRs which MyFlights has no problem with at all. I can only hope it improves by 1 January... Such a shame. As others have said earlier in this thread, this really feels like a backwards step for passengers. (For what it’s worth, I would welcome the opportunity for MyFlights to live on in some capacity. Even without the Amadeus feed, it’s a really intuitive platform for keeping upcoming PNRs, e-ticket numbers etc. in one place, and also a great record of past flights.) |
Amadeus should employ @schofs to sort out CheckMyTrip ....

Just as an aside - hilariously (!) this link lets you see travellers' passport information if it is in the PNR, which somewhat compromises BA's wonderful new security protocol!

Just to echo this. Putting in additional functionality is probably the last thing you want to do at this stage, but if there were an easy way to add a button to the site which would allow us to download all our raw data in one dump - format doesn't even matter so much - that would be great!
https://openflights.org/help/csv.html Or any other suggested flight logging tools. |
A sad end to an excellent app, thank you Chris whilst it lasted

I echo orbitmic's comments above. We in HK are very dependent on Myflights App to notify us when CX does an equipment change on us, wrecking our seat assignments. We would've specifically paid for that feature had Chris wanted to charge for it.

The service in its entirety will end on 31st December. My agreement with Amadeus is up for renewal then. For security reasons, the new service after this requires me to have an agreement (approval) from the company (e.g. travel agent or airline) that a booking is made with so I can access their data. This would mean many thousands of agreements which just isn't possible I'm afraid. There is no longer an option for one agreement to access data from any provider.
If correct, is this an over-exaggerated and commercially driven interpretation of the GDPR? |

And also, if this applies to Myflights app, when can we expect it to apply to Checkmytrip also? Is Amadeus intending passengers to access their itineraries solely through airlines' apps and websites only?
If correct, is this an over-exaggerated and commercially driven interpretation of the GDPR? There must be a new opportunity here, I'd love to discuss with whoever has the same thoughts. I'm keen on apps and developing new ideas with technology. Although I'm sure MyFlights have looked at every opportunity to stay afloat. I wish them the best in their next endeavour. |

Even just a simple data dump in a CSV file that could be uploaded to OpenFlights:
https://openflights.org/help/csv.html Or any other suggested flight logging tools. App wise there is TripIt and App in the Air - both of which are pretty good when you’re at the airport for getting notifications about delays, gate numbers etc. Online there is JetItUp and my.flightradar24 for keeping a log of flights and stats after you’ve flown. |
Just a thought - will this be the end of using Finnair/Qantas/QR etc to change BA bookings?
If permission is going to be required to access the bookings - how many of those airlines will go about setting up the mutual access and then what about those smaller travel agencies? |
