Slightly O/T: What happened to Check My Trip?
Just looked at my QF itinerary on the CO website. Using CO miles for an OZ/NZ vacation in Feb 10. Noticed QF94 leaving 10 minutes earlier than before (now 2305 instead of 2315). No big deal, but went to checkmytrip.com to see it there. The initial login page has changed quite a bit. Punched in my confirmation number and last name and the itinerary came up very similarly to a CO website designed for mobile phones and Blackberrys. The details of the flights (types of aircraft, airport names, etc) no longer appear. There is a details link for each flight. Clicked on the details link for QF94. It came back with "The XML page cannot be displayed."
Is this what checkmytrip.com has become? Has this website changed and is there a new hyperlink for Check My Trip as it was before. I found a backdoor site that took me to the old version, but I'm wondering is there a new direct link? Slightly

Here's the URL of what I still see. When I go to Check My Trip, it now takes me to the Mobile version of the site.
https://www.checkmytrip.com/plnext/X...TN&LANGUAGE=GB
If I go back and delete everything to the right of ".com", it still fills in the rest of the URL. I cleared out my Temp Internet Files and Cookies folders, but I still get the same Mobile Amadeus Check My Trip site coming up.

Another option for you to try is the Qantas Manage My Booking link - http://www.qantas.com.au/travel/airl...king/global/en

If you were to click on the URL above, do you get the normal Check My Trip website or do you get the website labeled Mobile Check My trip? Whereas I used to get the normal site, I now get this mobile version all the time. I can no longer get any details such as aircraft or current seat assignments because everytime I click the Details link for a particular flight, I get an XML error. I wasn't directed to the Mobile version a few days ago. Now I am.
I have already seen the itinerary on the QF Manage My Booking site, but Check My Trip no longer functions properly for me. I only get the Mobile version. And I still don't know why.

That I can understand. What I still don't understand is why the mobile version is coming up on my home desktop. And I wasn't having this problem 3 days ago. Has CMT changed so that my Internet Explorer 6 needs to be updated to IE7 or IE8?

IMHO if you're not using IE8 you're missing out on a lot. I am very resistant to using "new and improved" software releases, but IE8 has nice features. I started using it when it was Beta. The only caveat is a very few websites have not updated to IE8 and will not display.

CMT is erroneously categorizing this browser ID string as 'mobile'. You can either report it to them or switch to a different browser.
