US Airways Dividend Miles (Pre-FlightFund Merger) - usairways.com Has a New Look!View Full Version : usairways.com Has a New Look! The Lurker Nov 18, 04, 2:16 am usairways.com now has a slightly modified look. Instead of the columns being curved, now everything is straight. It seems that the changes were only cosmetic, its still the same old site, just a different look.

Hardly worth the effort to build/QA/release, IMHO choster Nov 18, 04, 9:42 am Well, as a matter of design philosophy, incremental change is preferable to radical redesigns. Cleaning up the home page this way is a good first step; there isn't the perception that you've lost any functionality. It is still not as clean as AA or BA, but less cluttered than UA or HP without requiring the extra click for searching flights on WN or B6. bowdenj Nov 18, 04, 11:16 am Like the changes - subtle but a bit easier to read the screen. Jumpgate Nov 18, 04, 12:20 pm I agree. As long as this isn't the "big re-design" they've been talking about I think this is a good incremental step. NeoOfTheCRS Nov 18, 04, 12:23 pm A new feature other than just cosmetic is the Refund/Ticket/Memo Status option. I used it yesterday and it worked pretty well. Now if we could have just a single profile log-in that would be great ^ jcooke Nov 18, 04, 8:29 pm A new feature other than just cosmetic is the Refund/Ticket/Memo Status option.

What's wrong with it/them? I think they've been driving the back ends of US's Revenue Accounting, Distribution, etc. for a while. jcooke Nov 18, 04, 9:06 pm I assuming you meant Navitaire.

When I hear Navitaire I typically associate that with OpenSkies more than anything else.... |
