Yet another non-working, useless feature of the website. It would be quite useful if it actually worked. And it did used to work in beta. It's been broken for over a month for me.

Both the Check In and Flight Status widgets are infuriatingly useless to me:

-- Check in -- not only do I have to enter everything manually after signing in again (god forbid the website actually remembered who I am) I have to reinter it on the next page anyway

-- Flight status -- when it works only seems to pick one leg (usually but not always the first) to display status for even though the widget identifies the correct "ultimate" origin and destination (e.g. I flew RIC-EWR-CLE last week and it showed me RIC-CLE in the widget but only status for the RIC-EWR in the widget or when I looked at the detailed status...

I think I've said I really like the new booking flow with the filters/sorting/etc (when it works) but there are still a lot of loose ends...
