  • It would frequently error on pricing when I had any surface sectors.
  • If I put in all my cities, picked dates for them all, and had it find flights for all at once it would error every time. Finally got it to price a full itinerary by adding 3 flights at a time slowly...
  • If I started with a saved itinerary originally built with the previous version of the tool it would fail every time.
Wow. Makes you wonder if there did any user research at all (you know, what users use old system, what users use new system).
