Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. As we note below you do have some of this functionality today however we will consider your feedback for future enhancements.
You can do this today by adding up to 3 regular fare classes as the "Other" classes in the Award search.
The Exclude Codeshare option is more complicated to add to the mobile site vs the full website. You can still use the time of day filter to make sure your flight shows. If you need further help with a specific example please email us.
As noted by
cmn.jcs you can set preferences for departing airport and airlines(s), as well as date/time formats on the My Account page. You shouldn't have to start from scratch to go back, you can open a refined search in a new browser tab by right clicking on the Refine Query link and selecting to open in a new tab.
Our servers change to the next day at 6AM London time. You can adjust the date and time formats to European format from the My Account page.
Thanks for the response. It's definitely the little things.
For example, regardless of desktop or mobile, for all my searches I select "exclude codeshares." In fact I'm not sure any award searches (or upgrades at least) where you'd want to include codeshares. On what airlines is a codeshare upgradable?
For time zone, it's not the format I care about, it's when the actual day ticks over. In the UI, you could use the browser timezone to do this better vs using a single server-side date determination.
For the problems w/ mobile, pick a high frequency route like LHR-JFK. Search for a particular flight late in a particular period like 3pm. BA codeshares often come up and if only a few are returned, I can't see the particular AA flight I wanted to see. This happens intermittently as the # of results returned varies due to reasons I cannot understand.
Example:
On mobile site, pick "Morning" JFK-LHR on just AA.
Flight 104 is the seventh result. And often it doesn't show award inventory on that high a result #, but only shows the first few results. Of the 6 above, all but two are useless BA codeshares. Choosing "early morning" moves 104 to ninth place with more BA garbage.
I just ran a query for early AM today on the 14th. This was the result from mobile, which is also useless as it's not even returning flights for this morning (I'm running this at 8am London time for JFK morning flights):
AA 100 JFK 6:10p → LHR 6:20a
C1
Expanded
AA (BA) 6133 JFK 6:40p → LHR 6:35a

The BA flights should not even be here and the date is screwed up on mobile it seems.
