OTP with no login alternative (and not even text passcode alternative) was a really bad idea when they redid their system.

I checked again after seeing the posts about cheap parking and it's sending me the OTP again.
No disagreement there about how crappy their new reservation/booking system is. Having gone through a similar conversion for a storage rental place, it seems like they went to a "more secure" Azure-type back end as well which, may be more secure, but really just sucks and doesn't really work in LAWA's/flylax's case.
