Thanks!

I can't remember if it was AC or QF that wasn't showing some options when searching one way but as of right now, if it ain't broke...

Heh, I couldn't find an icon that looked a little less "refresh-y". Granted, I didn't really look too hard. Putting it between the From & To breaks the tabbing between fields and I didn't feel like ordering the fields.

I'm still using your tool for all my award searches! It's been really helpful, thanks blather.

I noticed this afternoon that there is a strange bug when searching NH for flights to/from BKK. The search initializes, runs, and then returns an error on the results page in the debug window:

This error appears when searching BKK to/from JFK/NYC/LAX (so probably any airport) and when searching a combo like "KUL,BKK". To/from KUL alone does not give an error.

Manually entering BKK into the search box within the debug window does bring up a valid list of results, as does searching on the NH site manually.

Searching with BA does work properly. I also tried AC, but apparently they are doing website maintenance right now.

Seems like there is a particular problem with BKK. It would also be great if an error like this for NH resulted in an error in the Award.Flights Finder interface.

Thanks for all your hard work!

EDIT:

Well, it's quite odd, but AwardNexus is also giving an error for BKK-JFK/EWR. I guess NH changed something in their interface.

Yeah, looks like something funky is going on with NH & BKK. I'll try to take a look at it this weekend and thanks for the kind words.

blahter

This is fixed now.

First off, thank you for this tool, it is a great time saver (although because of that, I have been wasting a lot of time trying to optimize routings, ha!)

I have a little bug to report for AC, I am using v0.0.0.84 which I assume is the latest version. When doing a multi-day search (say 08/01/2017 with +Days set at 30), the results for some days show up twice but the following day is then missing.

It seems like the app is randomly skipping some 'searching' steps, so consecutive 'reading results' steps return the same results. I get this from the progress bar; normally it would show

AC : Initializing
AC : searching xxx-xxx 2017-08-01-ALL
AC : reading results xxx-xxx 2017-08-01-ALL
AC : searching xxx-xxx 2017-08-02-ALL
AC : reading results xxx-xxx 2017-08-02-ALL
AC : searching xxx-xxx 2017-08-03-ALL
AC : reading results xxx-xxx 2017-08-03-ALL
and so on..

when the bug hits, it does this instead:

AC : Initializing
AC : searching xxx-xxx 2017-08-01-ALL
AC : reading results xxx-xxx 2017-08-01-ALL
AC : reading results xxx-xxx 2017-08-02-ALL
AC : searching xxx-xxx 2017-08-03-ALL
AC : reading results xxx-xxx 2017-08-03-ALL
and so on... all results from 2017-08-01 would be on the list twice while there would be no result for 2017-08-02. A subsequent search for 2017-08-02 would return plenty of results so it isn't a lack of availability problem.

There doesn't seem to be any regular pattern, I've seen this happen with +Days set to as low as 3.

blahter

Yeah I've seen this happen but the problem is that it's hard to recreate consistently. I'll see if I can do something about it.

I've reloaded the app on Chrome several times, entered BA info, and cleared the cache when I had opportunity but continue to get the error: BA - Error - unknown page Show Error

From: DFW To: HKG 5/28/2017 +2 days Passengers: 1
Checked: BA Economy


What am I missing?

belfordrocks

Happening to me too, only explanation is that BA is cracking down

blahter

Yeah, I'm not sure what's going on here exactly.

It looks like the first search succeeds and when it tries to navigate to the search page again, it errors out.

If I run a search manually and click on the “Start again” button at the bottom of the results page, it errors out. Going through the main members page->spending avios->book a reward flight also errors out on me once I've run an initial search so I don’t quite know what to do about this.

One workaround is to only run one search at a time and click on the “Clear cache/cookies” button when it errors out.

viracocha

It looks like it's not using the Passengers number correctly. Using NH, it's showing J availability putting in 3 passengers, but using their website there's only 1 available.

Does anybody else show the AC search broken? The search parameters don't appear to be inserting for me when I click "show error".

blahter

This is fixed

What cities are failing for you? JFK-LAX, SIN-HKG are working for me

joeags

Any search I do is performing this way. I've tried your two city pairs, and I'm still getting the error. This is what is showing. I'll try on some other computers this afternoon to see if it's localized on my desktop.

EDIT: No need to add another comment - this error was localized on my desktop. Two laptops were fine.

i've had some intermittent trouble with aeroplan as well

in debug mode it selects number of passengers and cabin preference, but does not enter the airport codes/one way/dates

i performed several successful searches before this error began happening

beastieb

Has anyone else been having issues with BA while using the award finder lately?
