I have now downloaded the CMT app and I am not happy with it. First, ads. Second, too many different colors, font sizes, boldings etc., so not very straightforward IMO.

And: Where can I find the fare basis of a given booking?

And strangely, it does not display the fare code or fare basis.

Sadly comes under the category of 'beggars can't be choosers!'

And I don't believe it gives the fare basis on the standard app sadly.

Fully agree - at least in this transitional period where a lot of my bookings for 2018 are already in the app and I haven't found a replacement yet...

It was clearly communicated that it won't be possible to add bookings anymore as they wouldn't be monitored anyway. However, existing bookings added until 31DEC17 will still be monitored.

orbitmic

Are you sure about that? That wasn't my impression. My sense was that the bookings would still show but no longer be monitored after 31/12

Apologies, I thought to have remembered they will be monitored, but they are not, it is viewing only:

Whilst I can still see my current bookings in MyFlights apps (thank goodness) - I am not receiving any email notifications of changes to those existing bookings, and wasn't expecting to... and I've had plenty of changes.

Still grateful however that the bookings haven't been deleted!

If you have the TripIt link still enabled, new booking do appear in MyFlights via there, but as mentioned aren't monitored.

MyFlights App

Hi all - apologies for the removal of the add button - I needed to get a version out there which stopped the use of the Amadeus lookup, as the previous version would give errors as I'd turned off the API. I'll be doing a slight revision which allows bookings to be manually added, but as the manual entry screen is minimal info only (e.g. no seats etc.) most people tend to use TripIt which is still operational.

I'm also considering whether the app should continue without the Amadeus access - if so, I'd need to significantly improve the input approach, but my concern is there's then little to differentiate it from the likes of App In The Air etc.

(And just to address the other discussion on here - bookings could be added and monitored until 31st, but after this there is no Amadeus adding and no Amadeus monitoring - the data feed to Amadeus is no longer for bookings except those made by Travel Agents who have signed an agreement between themselves, Amadeus and MyFlights)

Would you be permitted to disclose which agents have signed up? No problem if not. It potentially would impact my booking provider choice if I knew I could add the data into "MyFlights-TA Version".

That's excellent, thanks Chris!

I would use it as the interface is easy to read. I use Expert Flyer for the notifications I really care about, so would update MyFlights with any of those alters.

While 2003/2010 threads guessed at the meaning, I can confirm that RDM is indeed meant to mean ReDeMption while the PEROW ...well, I never worked that one out, even while I was working for BA.

The line that contains both these mystery codes is called a miscellaneous element which are used to either transmit a message to someone viewing the itinerary, or as a retention element: Amadeus PNRs expire 3 days after the last itinerary element (usually the last flight) - throw this MIS thing in and the PNR stays alive longer, allowing servicing if necessary, for weeks after you've flown and forgotten about the PNR... Once the PNR is purged, it's read only, and makes any corrections (like missing Avios redeposits) a lot harder.

Just ignore it!

Per OneWorld, perhaps? Just guessing.
