Sorry, yes it's about the searching, not the booking.

I appreciate thata developer API might be better, it just so happens that itasodtware closed down its already limited QPX API last month.

So any thoughts on a js or vbnet based routine that jumps the itasoftware anti scraping hurdles would be welcome.
