Award Inventory - calling creative programmers
I'm sure that I'm not the only one frustrated with the inability to book an award ticket using ual.com. It can take several hours to search a couple of weeks for either of the three cabins on certain routes/classes/airports.
Is there anyone who could write a program that would
1) search over a period of time (i.e. 7/6/05 through 7/31/05) returning +/- x days (say 10) which would give the first trip 7/6, return 7/15,7/16,7/17 with the x being 1
2) search up to 3 departing and 3 arrival airports (i.e., SFO, OAK, SJC to LHR,FRA,CDG)
3) search for all three classes of service
4) provide a combined report that could be printed/saved as an html file
This would in essence run hundreds of scenarios on the ual.com (after you have logged in, of course) that you could let run for an hour or so and come back to see what your options are for booking award travel.
Any thoughts - any takers?
BTW, I'd be willing to pay a few bucks for the shareware version to make it worth their while.
