I wonder if the EF site can automatically generate saved query names for me. For example, I often would need to save a seatmap for repeated search, but the names I pick are always of the same format "11/04 nrt/lax". It would be nice if the EF site can automatically generate "11/04 AA170 nrt/lax YJF" for me (maybe not for all query types, but at least for simple ones like seatmaps or fare).
We could, but of course for everyone who thinks it's a good idea there will be someone who will be annoyed that they now have to delete what we put in there to enter in something else.
We'd have to create an option somewhere to enable it on a person by person basis. However we'll put it on the list.
Also, any chance of making the links on the mobile version larger? On my phone, I often hit the adjacent links by accident.
We're really looking to just create a touch version of the mobile site which would make the whole experience better for touch phones.
On the issue of the mobile usage: I often prepare and save my searches on my laptop, and then when I am at the airport, I go directly to saved query on the mobile site. It would be nice I don't have to hit Saved Queries first (perhaps a list of recently saved queries, or a list of same-day query, on the home page).
This one we probably won't do as it doesn't create functionality that doesn't already exist 1-click away and while you may find it convenient, others may not. However we'll note it as well.
Finally, one sentiment I expressed to John in person and I want to repeat here: Thanks for EF. It is simply indispensable in my travel planning.
