I'm curious about this as well. I also wonder if you get the offer at OLCI for the return segment, if you did not jump on it on the outbound OLCI.

Aside from the RDM/EQM purchase option, are there other new features on the preview site that are worth pointing out? None are obvious to me.

Thx.

Yes, it would have... $2010 more.... basically about as much as I paid for the ticket initially. Umm, no.

Site Is Down
 

It seems the preview time period might be over

as it brings up the advertising page again

More significantly, there's no RDM and EQM purchase options on my existing reservations on the main site.

Evaluation Stage
 

Now the Smith Street Ramblers will sing about it for a while

It appears a new version of the preview site is up. Looks like UA itineraries are now supported and you can buy and select E+ seats on UA flights.

I was looking at the seat maps for the 744 and the graphics need a little work. The way they are laid out now it looks like the plane has a canard wing. :D

Seems unable to properly handle UA legs with a stop & aircraft change on same flight number. Itinerary display shows 'Various Aircraft' - fair enough. But the seatmap display only shows the first aircraft (757), while the actual seat assignments were those of the 2nd (763).

Yep, I noticed that. .bomb has no problem handling those.

I did find that itineraries booked on Continental.com before that were UA codeshares that somehow ended up in "NF" on .bomb are able to have their seats changed on the preview site.

Yup. Was finally able to see my seat for a UA-operated, CO-coded flight in two weeks :) .bomb continues to choke and puke out NF, and no ability to assign myself a seat. Will be interesting to see if UDUs will reflect on CO's side as well. I guess I'll find out in two weeks.

Site keeps signing me out. I log into the preview site without a problem, but to access ANYTHING on main page, I somehow sign out of the preview site, and up on the regular site, sometimes still logged in though, and other times, logged out completely.

It's already pushed into public CO site just within last hour. Didn't play a lot.
But I notice it shows both UA/CO PNR in the reservation, and
you are able to select seat on UA metal, and
ELR are all E+ now in the description column below the seat map

Something odd I've noticed on the live site is the fact that reward availability that shows on the ANA tool doesn't necessarily show up on Continental.com.

I am able to see LH F on the ANA tool but Continental only shows LH C availability.

I thought that was always the story, that for maximum yields, to search the ANA tool, and only then call CO to input the specific segments..

True, but the fact that they're showing C space on the flights that also have F space (but not showing it) is a little odd.
