I find the design/functionality of award search to be very good, initially, but then when you actually try to complete a booking, it blows up. If they were actually capable of competent execution, this has the potential to be an improvement, but alas, it's just more bugs, more problems, more time, more calls, more frustration.
The new website is indeed the old website with a new skin.
Problem is the errors in our favor were taken away (no copays, holds, etc) and new errors have been added.
Worst of all, the new website is so darn slow. Just going from one date to another on the award search tool takes at least twice as long as before. I hate it.
