Even 1A dev thinks it flawed but that's life. As they couldn't figure out the jump/bridge part, I told them when they switch i'm switching to 1S
same here. That's why she said I can stay with selling platform. Will the online version not be as good as the program? I'm afraid but may be it's good?

Does any one have any good theory or explanation why LY is delaying literally every JFK flight for the past few days ?
this is already driving me nuts, what the heck is wrong with them?

I wonder if it is because their being very lax with their maintenance on their older aircraft due to the impending shipments of their new ones..

So I discovered by accident yesterday that by adding a "." after an airline code in an availability search it excludes non direct and codeshares.
Does anyone know how to exclude codeshares, but include connecting options?
What other such codes am I not aware of?

Code: [Select]
113JULTLVZRH‡LX«

I'm using a new PCC now, and when viewing a PNR it doesn't show the recloc at the top like it has in the past, anyone know how to enable this?

1A or 1S?

ETA - I see you are asking for Sabre - first thing when you search PNR TOP in FF - W/RLOCTOP‡ON

For 1A - to show the airline locator you have to enable "EAS"
