I had signed up for the beta testing of the new COOL site a month or so ago, but was informed via email that they had enough guinea pigs...er...testers. Today I received an email that said in effect, "WHOA! We need you after all!" and said my profile had been transferred to the beta site and that all of my future online bookings should be made via the beta site, which I was invited to bookmark.

Well, I went there and played around. Cool interface, though not that much different from a user standpoint than before.

My gripe: There is still no way to book online and select a Y fare. Sure, you can check the boxes that specify direct flight only, no penalties for changes, etc.....but in many instances (i.e., IAH-AUS) you'll still get a Q fare, which is not immediately upgradeable. I want to be able to check a single box that says, "YES! Charge me a Y fare! I don't care!" I would think that CO would invite such customers.
