Agreed. But oh well, it's AI we are talking about. Small steps in the right direction are as much as we can expect.

The new booking system is still flawed and won't allow you to book with paid seat selection. Something happens at the payments page and the code is unable to price the itinerary correctly. When seat selection is removed, the booking goes through just fine, and then you can select seats later through Optiontown.
