... Is it my computer or account or is it UA? Thank you.
Right now every time I try a “Flexible dates” search, clicking the oval shaped “Find flights” tab has no effect other than to put a black border around that tab, the webpage freezes in all other ways. If I un-click “Flexible dates” and select dates and click “Find flights”, the webpage instantly changes to the results page which populates the (list of) fares within 4-6 seconds.

Wondering again if it’s me or them. Thank you.

(It’s ski season so I’m back to (hopefully) flying UA due partially to routes and schedules and partially due to status allowing up to 70 lbs (vice American’s status allowing 50 lbs and no status on Delta). I usually travel with my ski boots packed inside a large suitcase which invariably ends up weighing 52 or 53 lbs and American is loath to ignore those 2 or 3 lbs.)
