That's annoying yes. ...but it hardly many makes the sort practically useless. Sorting by duration and arrival times is still quite useful. And most of the time the low "basic" fares align to the flights with the low standard fares as well.

for me, it's doing the same and ALSO not showing any itineraries whatsoever that match the daily prices left to right when you change days...shown above the broken sorting arrows.
ugh

Reviving an old thread as I am facing this exact issue of "THIS PAGE MUST HAVE TAKEN FLIGHT" error which should have been the payment page.

Using chrome. Never had an issue until recently. Have tried clearing cookies etc. My fix though was using incognito and that works. Can't seem to figure out why the non-incog version didn't work.

It's appearing a lot more lately, they seem to be making some changes as they fully move over to the new horrible interface. I'd say it's a cookie thing, but given that you cleared them, I don't know.

This new interface loses so many options and adds so many steps to try to find "real" fares. The latest round of "errors" are probably destined to become "features" when they dont hear enough complaints.

It has quickly gone from bad to worse this week

Based on other threads, they definitely rolled out some bad changes this week.

Looks like at least the sort is fixed. A few other changes came through at the same time. The funny one I saw - I pulled down the main fare option and now got basic, main and Business. Go figure.
Still good luck if you are looking for non-basic or first. You will have to pull down every fare category separately to find the fares. This is a continuing annoyance.

now the app won't show me any of my flights I have reserved/purchased/held. It only loads promo messages and images, and has a link to my mileage balance.
WTH?

yes i've deleted cache, restarted app, restarted phone. UGH

Sorter arrows still completely decorative for me.

Non-functional.

Ok, this is fascinating. Still broke in the "price" view but they are working for me in the "miles" view.

This IT department is nothing if not consistently inconsistent and entertaining.

Sorter arrows are completely functional for me, but first does show up under main fare dropdown (as well as main select, which wasn't showing before since I already have everything included there with status)

Do they test anything? Or just push it live and see what the heck happens?

It works on my machine!

It seems that they do canary/blue-green/a-b testing, whereas they deploy to a small amount of users and slowly increase over time if there are no issues, which is why some of us have issues and others don't.

I think you're giving them way too much credit. My guess is they manually deploy changes to the servers and you have mixed code servicing requests for a while. Either that, or the code is buggy and errors out in some use cases.

Cynical, yes - but I have never seen A/B testing where one of the options is repeatedly straight up broken.

tried uninstall, logging out, chatting support, etc and nothing will fix it... (sorry can't post pic of the blue banner, i'm too new)
still having this issue months later, anybody else?

Anybody know of a solution? It’s getting really annoying. Won’t show any of my upcoming flights, thinks a past flight from November is upcoming and displays it in that space….
