DL.com broke? 04-Apr-2014

Once attempting to log in, or access any page using HTTPS...

Server not found

Firefox can't find the server at prd1a4.delta.com.

Check the address for typing errors such as ww.example.com instead of www.example.com
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Edit: Seems back now...

Yes just tried using the dreaded Windows 8 etc - paradoxically I think it just loaded the fastest I have ever seen - almost instantaneously.

Looks like it's been Akamaized. Pretty sure this is recent.

Probably an attempt by Jeff Smisek to lure back customers to UA. However, all flights are operated as; BYOL (Bring your own Lemon).

I'm having trouble searching for flights. When I click "More Search Options", the options to change between RT/one-way, to search by flexible dates, and by fare class are no longer there. These options were available earlier this week when I searched for these same flights.

Anyone know if this is a bug or just a new "enhanced" search?
