Is there any news on the ability to download the data held on myflights?

Mine is "Redmond/Bend - Hobart", CMT departure date 2 July 2017

Actual departure date is 30 March 2018, and the routing is SYD-xMEL-oHBA-MEL, Avios redemption on QF

I have another Redmond/Bend - OR, USA. Booking was made with BA using BA avios for AS flights.

Does anyone know if CMT app will work on iPad? It works on my iPhone. I also downloaded the CMT app to my iPad but could not sign in at all.

Not sure what I have done wrong? It kept saying "not being able to validate your credential" on iPad!

I only started using TripIt after MyFlights died, but have just enabled the link, and I'm pleased to report that my flights booked in 2018 have now appeared in MyFlights too - excellent!

A request to Chris, from someone who had not looked at this thread since December: If MyFlights either regains functionality or is replaced, please be sure to let former subscribers know by email.

I've missed MyFlights so much these past couple of weeks that I'd gladly revise (upwards!) the amount I'm prepared to pay for it, either per month/year or (maybe an option???) per PNR.

Ditto.

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)

Great to see that new bookings can be added in the update I got today. Unless I am mistaken, there is still no functionality to edit manually added bookings? I added one then realised I made a mistake but wasn't able to edit it (only Delete). Or has this function moved somewhere else?

Sorry - that's my fault - I re-enabled the Add button but forgot to re-enabled the Edit button.
Look out for an update in a day or so once Apple have approved it - sorry!

Groan

I'm still depending on Myflightsapp to locate some Easter itineraries

All my CX R/T itineraries for the next 30 days (ticketed and unticketed) don't appear in my Checkmytrip itineraries list. I have to use my legacy copy of Myflightsapp to locate the itineraries.

CX and BA O/W itineraries correctly display in Checkmytrip. Go figure.

Spotted on Facebook yesterday that myflights have launched a new partnership with a travel agent. Hopefully more will follow.

"“MyFlights Travel Agent is the solution I’ve always been looking for. It enables me to track my clients’ bookings for changes, and in turn has helped my business grow the respect and trust of my customers."?

So it only tracks bookings made thru the travel agent who offered Myflights Travel Agent (Doleris being the first)?

That's not bad news but I desperately want to track my bookings made via Asia Miles Travel Services Limited and BA Executive Club. I do not believe it is likely that AMTSL or BA will ever consent or offer Myflights Travel Agent to members.


P.S. 12:19pm:
"Pricing" (dropdown menu)£100.00 per month + £1.00 per PNR
  • Booking monitoring & change notifications
  • MyFlights Travel Agent Dashboard
  • Branded iOS App for your customers
  • Branded emails
  • Up to 3 agents

Yup - this is the new Travel Agent product I mentioned in my comms about the customer app closing. The first agent (Doleris) has been live on it for a number of months, but with their support I've been building up the features to make it appeal to more agents, so only now doing a proper launch. The key reason the TA product works is that the TA and MyFlights sign an agreement with Amadeus to allow MyFlights to access their bookings. For the original MyFlights to work I'd have needed to sign one of those agreements for every possible booking agent and airline that travellers may book through.

There are other TAs trialing the product at the moment, so yes, hopefully more will follow. If corporate TAs follow then that will also help business travellers as the majority of their travel will be booked through their corporate TA.

(For the purposes of this forum) Not a chance in hell British Airways (direct ticketing and/or Avios redemption) will ever sign this agreement even if we passengers paid for it is there?
