Broken arrow?
 

Not sure if anyone else has noticed, but the upgradeable flight arrow seems to be broken on aircanada.com. It is supposed to show up next to the flights with availability when you click 'Display only fares eligible for upgrade'. However, they do seem to have removed the Latitude bait and switch that only showed the highest latitude fares when you asked for upgradeable fares. So perhaps I'm expecting too much.

With I class not showing on all of the free sites, I've had to call the SE line to find out which flights actually have upgrade space, or work on the rule of thumb that I=Z most of the time.

Your title had my undivided attention....

Broken arrow is military code for a nuclear accident...as in an aircraft down with a nuclear warhead aboard.

Old habits die slowly....

In fact there's a movie by that name.

Indeed. A really really really bad movie.

But didn't it feature John Travolta and Howie Long? How then, could it have been that bad?!?

It's been a while since I've seen it, but I'm sure there's a scene where the heroes outrun a nuclear explosion.

The US military also used (still uses?) the term to call in all available aircraft for an airstrike, often danger-close to friendlies.

Anyway, I too thought about the nuclear option when I first saw the title of this thread!

Oh, it wasn't that bad, just 3 out of 5 stars kinda so-so. Worth watching if you're a Travolta fan maybe but hardly worth shelling out $5 on a rental out of curiosity. :D

Post #10 and the first reply not about nuclear warheads or bad movies... ;)

Someone noted a couple weeks ago that the arrow was no longer showing up, in the discussion about searching for I space:

Thanks for the response. I guess I missed that post and that confirms it has been broken for a while. Disappointing IT as usual. Not useful to me, but it is at least good that they fixed the Latitude problem after only 5 months or so.

As for taking so long to get to the point, I guess I need to be more careful with clever titles.

Sure, but what are those stars based on? Can we really trust the reviewers opinions? ;)

Any self-respecting Canadian knows that Broken Arrow is an album by Neil Young. :D
