+1. The ability to search across several consecutive days is a nice addition. It really is a shame that the underlying ANA logic for cxns is so feeble. (I was just discussing this in MilesBuzz this morning. Another FTer was looking for award travel LAX-HAN, and ANA only offers LAX-ICN-HAN while ignoring LAX-Tokyo and LAX-SIN options.)

The server is getting hammered with requests, so I will need to upgrade the server, but that will only take moments - approx 30mins. (Rackspace rocks!)
My apologies for any downtime or stopped searches.

Is there a way the code can be written to perform multiple city searches for the same day and show results for all at the same time? e.g.
Oct 12th (+7 day search)
SIN/CGK/BKK/HKG-FRA
If I wanted LH and SIN-FRAN shows not available, you can see availability from other cities you select as "from" on the same screen for the same dates.
Oct 12th (+7 day search)
SIN/CGK/BKK/HKG-FRA

I really love the concept, and I really look forward to using it as it only improves further. There currently seems to be a lot of flights missing however. . . especially mixed carrier options. For example, in searching 11/25/12 from BKK to ORD, there are plenty of options that should be available, but the *AwardFinder only returns UA flights and says they are full.
My apologies if there is something I've missed that readily explains this. Please keep up the great work to perfect this, as this is the type of search engine I could really use!!
