Here's some good news from the Unimatic front. You can now see your hotel and transportation information when you pull up your trip ID. Well sort of....you can't see it if you just type in the request in the quick, shortcut way like, DSPID/5249/12. Instead, you've got tell the computer to display the hotel information. Here's what you do:
Type in DSPID/ (remember to type in the slash after DSPID) and press ENTER.
You'll see the following response:
ID# DATE EQP CAT TZ POS HTL ;DSPID/ ____/MM- DD-YY/ ___/ S/ ___/ ___/ _
You would then enter in the ID number, the date, and then go to the last column labeled HTL and type an 'H' under it. Then press ENTER.
For example:
ID# DATE EQP CAT TZ POS HTL ;DSPID/ 5249/MM- 07-YY/ ___/ S/ ___/ ___/ H
You'll get the following response:
CHGID/ 5249 DTE 11/07/00 EQUIP OVR DOM CDG CAT S 4 TZ CREW: FS M N O EQP D FLT# DT DPTARV DPTR ARVL L/O TTLS TTLA ACM DTM RMKS 77I I 937 07 CDGLAX 1418=1643= 4742 1130 1125 1125 1358 77I I 932 09 LAXCDG 1625 1130 00 1050 1005 1005 1245 TOTAL TIME 2220 FLT TIME 2130 TMA 7200 M-MEAL BOARDED- 937/07 CDG M-MEAL BOARDED- 932/09 LAX
