I have a question regarding the Mult-Day search tool. The following are the instructions:
Power Search (Multi-Day Availability Search)
Power Search can be used to locate Regular, Award or Upgrade Availability across a multiple date range.
The maximum date range is 31 days (1 month) for all Methods.
To use Power Search:
Goto the [Filter] Tab and set your Filter criteria (for example, "Availability Required in Classes FS/CS").
Return to the [Awards/Upgrades] or the [Availability] Tab.
Click the [Power Search] () button, select the desired date range, and click the [Start] button.
The Tool will initiate a series of searches across the requested date range until at least one flight matching the [Filter] criteria is found.
To continue the Power Search after it has been completed, click the [Power Search] button again.
To terminate the Power Search at any time, click the red [Stop] button (or press <Esc>).
I'm a bit confused with these instructions regarding search multiple dates. When setting the desired date range "+ [number of days]" in the Power Search button, the tool doesn't appear to give the available flights for the selected range. For example, in an Awards/Upgrades inquiry for oneworld (BA), if I select 10 Sep 2015 + 7 days, the tool will only give me the first available date with a seat in a particular class. So, if a seat is available on Sept 10, that's the only result it gives me. I would have to press Start again (or the down arrow) to find the next available day with an award seat.
Please tell us that there's a way to have the tool give you a week's worth of seats on one screen. Having to wait to press the Start button or down arrow again after each day does NOT seem to qualify as a "multi-day" search. I'd have to sit at the computer and wait 5 minutes to search for 7 days of availability. That would be no different than going to BA's website and clicking each day and waiting for the results. I was thinking I would see a monthly calendar with the available days, like with United's website.
