As soon as I click into the box to change the "From" city the page turns blank.
I've tried Firefox with Greasemonkey enabled and script downloaded and Chrome with Tampermonkey enabled and script downloaded.
Ideas?

Same thing for me on firefox.
Switched to Chrome and it worked right away.

I'm a tech illiterate and your explanations were clear enough that I was able to install the script on my iPhone, that's not a minor achievement, you're a good teacher! Thanks for your good work and enjoy your coffee!

Using it like a charm.

PS:
Some of the batch search icons for airline companies are missing. Turn out the icon src had changed.

In my case, the CX logo was

Quote:

src="/CathayPacificAwardV3/AML_IT1.1_ASR.6/common/skin/img/airlines/logo-cx.png"

at your code

Quote:

/CathayPacificAwardV3/AML_S65.15/common/skin/img/airlines/logo-cx.png

I guess is kinda dynamic, and they have changed a bit.

Hi! Firstly, thank you for this script!

I was finally able to install this on my chrome on mac using tampermonkey but I keep getting this error on the CX website. I know it's working correctly because I see "unevelavated award search". Help!

Error

I managed to. It’s easier to run on Android than iOS, but I have it running on both iPhone and iPad.

Thank you very much for this. It makes Asia Miles usable! Batch search is also a god send!

Thank you so much! Just a suggestion, would it be possible to add TYO to include both NRT and HND?

Hey, guys! Sorry, haven’t been updating in a while cuz I’ve been doing a bit of flying!

Some updates:

Cathay seems to have brought back its old search facade for some (although I can’t quite figure out the logic of when it uses the old one versus the new one), so I’ve added the plugin search box to both versions.
The script now checks for updates to the static path for the airline logo images, and will update automatically if it detects changes.
To avoid misunderstandings like post #96 of this thread, I’ve changed “No Flights” to “No Redemption Availability

For all those of you who are running into errors when searching, make sure you are logged in, and not searching in multiple tabs or windows. You may also want to do a simple search using the Cathay native engine first to make sure that regular is actually working.

As for the Firefox issues, I’ll be looking into them when I have more time on my hands.

percysmith I'm aware of the mixed class issue, but I have not yet figured out how the page determines bookable mixed sectores based on the API response. It is also on my to do list!

EDIT: Never mind, wasn't logged in.

Trying to use the script for the first time. Getting an error for LAX-MLE via QR. Any ideas? I see some discussion upthread about QR J not being available but ppl say Y should be fine.
