I had this when trying to chose a seat on a flight and the agent said I’ll just log into your account to have a look and see why thst isn’t coming up,for you... then selected the seat that I couldn’t but should have been able to and sent an investigation ticket off to their IT team.
BA agents have got this ability but in this case that isnt how they see previous searches. Its more advanced than that.
