Of course United may decide to make changes to this, but like a good premium fare deal it should be enjoyed while available.

A basic search led to too many threads being returned for me to pinpoint...
For those objectors (of which, I am not one)...Didn't there use to be (or maybe there still is) a way to check any PNR in similar fashion on the Saudia Airlines site? Again, we're talking some pretty easily accessible info. If someone wants to crack into your PNR, you really don't need a site like the OP's.

Man, I saw the Delta thread and found the JSON dump to see this on my UA reservations. It was a great revelation but I was really hoping no one developed something like this in fear of UA pulling data. The remarks were a goldmine for complicated tickets. It'll most certainly go the way of Delta. So thanks, OP, you succeeded in developing a really cool tool that will become useless in a few days. All of you saying "it's there anyways" is technically true, but not effectively true. It's there, but wasn't easily accessible or known by the general public, so it wasn't really available to a wide audience. It's like saying "anyone can visit Midway island." Technically that's true, but of course you would need so many permissions, funds, and transport methods that it is effectively not available to anyone.
Now it won't matter. It'll get nerfed soon. Maybe a good line from Jurassic Park goes here: "[they] were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should"

Let's just hope DLflyer themselves isn't the burglar since they have all our PNR/Name combos we tested.
(Related, hope you aren't in Missouri. Wasn't there where the governor tried to absurdly prosecute someone for showing data that was exposed in the html code? )

dlflyer00 Respectfully ask that you take this down and remove this post. Although the data is technically there and may be used by some backend process on the web page, it is not meant to viewed by a wide audience. You've proven your point that it is accessible. If you want any hope that it will remain as such, remove this.

Wow, this is great. Cant believe this is all in the data.
I can see in the data that my plus points have already cleared for upgrade from Economy to Polaris on my route from ORD - DEN -> DEN - SFO -> SFO - ICN. On the app it only shows ORD -DEN as clearing so far.
I also see the remarks that were added to my wife's separate ticket by the phone agent to roll my status privileges to her. Fascinating

Not sure why people are blaming the website or even this thread. Don't blame the messenger.
Interesting, looking at an old reservation:
DUPLICATE WITH UA PNR XXXXXX / UA PNR SUBJECT TO CANCEL
I wish this kind of warning was sent to me.
COP VRFD SYD LAX COVIDTEST FOR NAME
I guess TRC info goes in there
REZ*AGENT ERROR AE02
hmmmm
UA PREMIER1K MEMBER - PLZ EXTEND ALL COURTESIES
that sounds about right
Though it seems to only show up for my award flights

There used to be additional useful information available on other key pages. It was sanitized at some point in the past two years. I suspect that the same thing will happen here too.

So, when airlines ask for home address and email address to "validate" when we call, someone who has the PNR can get all that anyway? Never knew. I expected that to be only in front of them. What a joke.
Very nice. Thank you. I hope one of those credit card salesboys does not scream about this to click-bait.

That's ne reason why UA forces us to have a favourite sea animal or sport or other equally ridiculous "favourite" to have to remember.

In the case of the sample screenshot posted: HK1 means that one passenger is confirmed (Holding Konfirmed 1)
CRS status codes and action codes are sort of interchangeable concepts/terms (in SABRE we even called them Status/Action Codes, SA codes) as one performs an action (i.e. SS1 in SABRE to sell 1 seat, OB1 to overbook 1 seat, etc.) that then results in a status like confirmed (HK1)

Actually, I was thinking there really might be some remarks like that for a potential "problem customer"
