Nor does it accept the three letter airport codes, at least in safari. Well, actually, it lets you enter them. And the dates. And the 0 passengers. And then when you click to go forward then and only then does it force you to go back and actually select Calgary blah blah for YYC. It is like every option they had to make the site suck and difficult to use they enthusiastically chose.

Seriously. When a business relies on its website to book revenue, the website is absolutely critical. Aside from the backend app/db that it is accessing this is the single most important IT AC can do. And this effort is so amateur it is ridiculous.
Serious question:

What was wrong with the old site that was fixed in the new one?
