Which airline(s) did you try to limit to?

This is a problem with ITN itself. First of all, make sure to use the ITN/AMEX option.

The only issue with the tool itself that I am aware of is regarding Lufthansa, which will be rectified on the next update. In the meantime, you can manually enter the airline name string for Lufthansa exactly as it appears in the list below.

In genereal,
  • There are some airlines that it should always be able limit to (see the list below).
  • There are other airlines that it may be able to limit to.
  • And there are airlines that it can never limit to.

This looks like a great tool - many thanks.

I've just downloaded it and I wonder if you would be kind enough to send me a registration code. I will send you an email with the system code. Many thanks again.

I can't get the link to work either. It just brings me back to the same page. I don't know what "referrer logging is. :confused:

KVS Thank you. It worked like a charm. ( Now if you could set up something to ensure upgrades....)

It may appear that it brings you back to the same page, but keep on clicking that link -- you may need to repeat that process 3-4 times.

If that fails, try downloading using different browser.

Ok, tried it with IE and Netscape. Neither has the term "refferer logging" in the help files. Is there a specific browser that works?

You might also have some software (such as pop-up blockers and/or 'privacy guards') installed on your system that interferes with your browsers. If so, try disabling that type of software.

On the new version 1.2.6, everything works beautifully except for the ITN/Seatmap link, which crashes the tool. Has that happened to anyone else or is it my machine?
