Co.com Enhancements

Hi Guys,

Good News! Look for positive enhancements to website happening today or tomorrow! (I'm keeping my fingers crossed, so I don't have to eat crow.) Some of your major complaints about booking on the web will be history. But, as always I'm sure you will find SOMETHING to b**** about!
Ha!Ha!

Happy booking! In your favorite class of service, no less.

Pananna

Thanks for the heads up - I have enjoyed this feature when using NWA.com.

Hopefully there will be others to follow....

pananna my darling, you're using the ol' dictionary definition of of "enhancement" not the Continental Marketing Department's version of the word ":-: enhance :-: "

Well, what do you know -- the booking engine now offers a line that asks, "Enter specific classes of service: (ex. Y, H, K)"

Of course, no change to the site seems to come without problems. The headings on the main pulldown menus don't seem to work right now

And my April 1 flight to IAH suddenly showed 50% EQM. While I was on the phone any mention of mileage disappeared from the reservation. It's obviously a work in progress, but it's nice to see they're listening.

I don't think the website is working very well at all right now. If I try to type in the class of service on my usual flight, results come up for a totally different class. Anyone else having issues?

The reason I wasn't receiving the correct results was because I didn't click the radio button next to the field where I have to type in my class of service. Would be nice to see a dropdown menu with the different fare classes. Would also be nice if the developers could automatically select that as your choice if make a selction within that field.

Just went in to check on some stand-by possibility for tommorrow, and All one gets now is Price & Schedule when using the Price option. Nicer graphics, but I did like seeing all the possibilities when we used to use Price. I used to use Price first then went back and did it Price & Schedule.

I like the new look and the way the info is displayed, Especially that it now tells you the Fare Basis Code that is available for each flight, the old way we didnt see that until we finished picking all the flights we wanted.

I find the flight details a little harder to read. Maybe it is just that the text is smaller.

The little green dollar sign icons look like they belong on Priceline!

Great, now I can depress myself by easily looking at the H K & Y fares to HNL.

HoKeY just ain't gonna be the same, now if they could add a selection feature that would exclude Jungle Jets.

Hmmmmmm

When I price DCA-HNL 4/16-4/23 in K I get $1110.52 (K)
When I price DCA-HNL 4/16-4/23 in Eligible for onePass Mileage Upgrade I get $883.62 (K)

That's a hefty glitch!

Then, when I put in WAS-HNL for the same dates using "Eligible for onePass Mileage Upgrade" I get 759.60 in N-class!

Doh!

Yup, leave it to CO to make more problems as they "enhance" things.

My intra Europe segments on AF in EuroBusiness say:
Fare Class: Coach (O)

My QF business segments say:
Fare Class: Economy (U)

Further, same day arrivals (e.g., Asia to U.S.) report as arriving +1, and it shows onward connecting flights as having a negative connect time.
