Actually, here's a question for you guys. Other than the eUp system, which probably requires some sort of custom module or whatever, why does AC not buy a website off the shelf from someone else? I'm super-impressed with DL's. BA's is good. I like the UA site quite a bit as well, although I don't really use any of the MP-related stuff, so I don't know how well that's integrated.

It seems to me like the AC beta site is a step in the right direction but still a long way behind what I would consider the better airline websites I've used. So why not save a bunch of money and just licence the design from someone else? Obviously alliance links could be an issue, but other than that?
