I don't like having to type out the city names... I just tried my first booking with the new screen.

Since there are now blank fields, I assumed I could type "MCI" and "LGA" in the fields. I did so, manually typed in the dates (since the calendars were so slow), and then got an error message saying that those cities were not served. I realized I used to have to type city names in the old site, but it was a very fast dropdown and I could just type 1-2 letters and get to my selection.

After the error, I then (slowly) got a big pop-over box listing all of the WN cities and was able to click on them. Alternatively, I see I could have typed out "Kansas City" and it would have worked too...in my case, by the time I typed "Kansas".

I like the fare display screen...no problems there. Just a more sluggish site than what I was used to. I always liked the straightforward, fast simplicity of the old site.
