New search results page being tested?
Are others getting this? I don't know if this is an a/b test but the results page is not functional for me:
ex: https://www.alaskaair.com/search/HNL/BA3/11Feb
=> alaskaair.com/search/[FROM]/[TO]/[ddmmm]
UPDATE: deleted my cookies and hard refreshed until I got the old experience, so much more usable for me IMO:
- On 14" laptop I can see at most 3 flights at full screen, everything is like 10x more vertical PX, having to scroll al the way up to use date picker is terrible
- Upgrade preference doesn't work....

should you want to try the new one yourself the URL and code path is distinct and I think you can force it?

Cleared my cookies for the first time in months due to this.
Ugh very much dislike this interface.

I do not want to clear my cookies (issue with NFPA documents viewable offline) but, dangnabbit! the new search page is awful. I may have to very reluctantly clear my cookies. Bah Humbug!

It's just so much white space. It might be aesthetically pleasing, but I'd prefer just to get all the info onto one screen. There must be a way to update the look without each flight taking 20% of the screen.
