I work in IT, and preprod sounds like Pre Production to me, so why are they pointing me to a non-Production website for me to make changes to my flight? Or maybe preprod means something else.

Anyone else getting this issue?
I'm being directed to that subdomain from the Flight Status & Information page.

PreProd is normally pre production. Doesn't have to be but shouldn't be forward facing because it sounds too much like pre production and makes your customers worry. Maybe trying to break some scraping.
