CheckMyTrip vs eTicket from AY - QFF Reward booking

All bookings are in CMT, but none show both pax, just me.

Thats standard, CMT will only show the passenger name you enter when adding the booking.

If you completely delete the flight, then re-add it with your wifes name, it'll show her details.

Cheers algae. Tried deleting the flight, changing my profile name to wifes and re-add. Still didn't show her name - just mine.
Never mind, I find the CMT interface not that user friendly. I think I'll delete the app.

Did some searching for a CMT alternative and stumbled upon wanderlog.
Downloaded the app, loaded up my flights - kinda same method as CMT. You email them by forwarding the booking confirmation email(s). Almost instantly the flights appear.
The mobile GUI is much nicer than CMT so I think I'll keep using wanderlog.

As far as I am aware, CMT is the only publicly accessible real time interface with the Amadeus booking system. If you decide not to use it, that is your choice. But be aware of the functionality you are potentially losing.

Cheers Mr H. Fair call. No harm in having both apps!

True, because they are completely different apps.

Wanderlog is just a travel/itinerary planning app which displays the info you provide it in a pretty format. I use it, but definitely not in place of CMT.

As Mr H noted, CMT is a real time view of your OneWorld itinerary and most importantly can notify you of changes. I am also not aware of any other app which has this functionality.

IMHO you are doing yourself a great disservice in not using it. There have been countless posts here of people who have been notified of a change to their trip by CMT which QF has failed to notify them of, allowing them to hopefully deal with any issues in a timely fashion.

FYI it will only ever show the details of the flights for the person whose account you are logged into, not your whole party.

Just have one account for each person. Log in using the desktop interface and don't save log in details.

I've had good luck with the Royal Jordanian web site, as recommended by others on here. There are other OneWorld airline web sites that show you a decent level of information., but RJ seems to be recommended most commonly. You don't need to actually be flying on RJ, as long as it's an Amadeus booking reference (i.e. Qantas), your whole itinerary will show including e-ticket numbers (or lack thereof), and it shows all passengers unlike CMT which will only show passenger information that matches the account info. However, you can't use this to get alerts of itinerary changes the way CMT does, so I personally use both methods.

I also use "Tripit" for general trip planning and presentation of itinerary information from multiple sources, similar to wanderlog mentioned above. Tripit doesn't pick up intinerary changes based on booking reference, but it does have a connection into some kind of backend system to be aware of flight delays on the day (based on flight number only, I think). I tend to get notifications from up to three apps - Qantas, Tripit, and CMT, when a flight is delayed, which is nice redundancy

Someone will have to try using the RJ website then when making changes on the telephone and see whether it updates in real time.

I have never understood the antipathy to CMT.
