But a vast improvement since 1998 http://web.archive.org/web/199804280...http://aa.com/
And in 1997 aa.com was "Architech & Arts, Inc." http://web.archive.org/web/199706260...://www.aa.com/
Aesthetics aside, the site works, and has tolerable speed on slow international connections. The functional fixes already mentioned would be more useful than changing the basic look and feel.

Argh - 1998! Ugly! Nasty! My eyes hurt! 
I do have to give some credit to the IT fundis who have been working on these issues. (I am glad they never fixed the issue about showing VIPs online, however.
)
Your links for comparison are helpful - though I can't get the last one to work at all for me, possibly because I do not have the Japanese character set available in my browser currently.

I've heard this over and over again here but I don't know what I'm missing. Couldn't they set up the system so it shows VIPs online without shortening its validity? Isn't it the same way with our elite status?

Is anyone else getting a new splash page--sky blue background--tonight? I'm in the UK right now, but have never seen this page before on either side of the pond.

Firefox Passwords on AA.com - http vs https
I upgraded recently to Firefox 3.0.3. Usernames and passwords are being saved properly on all aa.com login pages starting with "https". However, I cannot get Firefox to remember usernames/passwords on pages starting with "http", which is where it starts when I type in just "aa.com" (strangely, "aa" used to autocomplete to aa.com but now autocompletes to the other AA, aa.org!).
I did originally have usernames/passwords saved for the http page that seemed to have been transferred from Firefox 2. But, in trying to do some house cleaning then troubleshooting, I deleted these and can no longer get 'em back.
Any thoughts?

dstan, the release notes for Firefox 3.0.3 says that they "Fixed a problem where users were unable to retrieve saved passwords or save new passwords (bug 454708)"
You may want to read the bug thread ... perhaps something in there can help you. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454708 Maybe take a look at comment #39.

AA website complaint...
...and YES, I've e-mailed them already.
Does anyone else find it frustrating that, first, they did away with their static cookie for your AAdv #?
Then, as if that wasn't annoying enough, the TAB key doesn't take you from the password field to the "save this" checkbox?
I'm an IT guy, and I ensure that my guys to rely good web programming to make things easy for the user. This is just either poor programming or poor oversight.
I can't be the only one to complain about this to AA.

Yes, I've been pretty frustrated by those exact issues, though I haven't complained to them yet. I think there's an existing thread about consolidated website issues ... alerted a mod already to combine this thread.

But anyway, they are kind of in a tough position here. People want their AAdvantage number to be remembered, but they don't want it to leak when they are at a public terminal. AA is probably being a bit over paranoid here, but that's what big companies do. I can just imagine the months worth of meetings where they made this decision
If you want things to work conveniently for you, let your user agent do it. Don't rely on AA to care about how you use their website. Too stressful.

Does anyone else have this problem?
I put in my username & password and it does not log me in. I try again, same thing. I close the browser and re-open a new one and I still have trouble. It just brings me back to the same login page. It's happened to me at least 3 times this week. Wondering if it's happening to other peeps or just me. I eventually get in by just trying a while later. Weird.

Both my "remember password" and "tab" work fine with Firefox. Also, with Firefox, I can just double click on the # spot and it fills in the number and password automatically.
