Also, I wanted to ask: do you use any framework to parse the html, or you just do it "by hand"? A couple times I wrote programs that parsed html from specific web pages and I don't recall it as something enjoyable
For the AP booking, if you enter the reference/name on aircanada.com, does it show up as expected? If so, and you don't mind, if you could PM me the information, I can look into it. Otherwise, it's really hard for me to diagnose these issues.

As for the parsing, yes, it's by hand, through several regular expressions. This type of parsing is why the AP page in the app broke when they started making Altitude changes.

The Altitude site actually seems to be much better, and the code to parse it is much simpler than the AC or AP screens. I really think AC is getting better at this . Hopefully they'll fix up the main AC site though, as that would make a lot of features a lot easier for me.
