New CO Online features?
Maybe this has been discussed already, but have you noticed the new features on co.com? for example, looks like pda.continental.com/info is now available in web format. i was checking the flight status for a flight a few minutes ago, and the upgrade standby list, standby list, seatmap, and inflight amenities are now tabs you can click on to view info.

Cool! I hadn't noticed that. They even gave it a nice skin (especially the seat map - a lot easier to understand than on the PDA version).

That was part of the most recent beta for the preview site. It went live overnight. And it is very cool.

These were the main features listed in an invitation to preview the site:
View additional information about your flight (in-flight amenities, flight standby/upgrade lists and the seat map). This is similar to the functionality currently available at pda.continental.com/info.
Shop for flights using a monthly calendar on the Advanced Flight Search page. Simply choose "My Dates are Flexible," choose a Begin Date and your length of stay and you will be presented with a month of fares for your city pair. Click on the fare to see a list of flights.
The homepage flight search tab will remember your previous flight search criteria (From, To, Depart & Return Date/Time, Number of Adult travelers and cabin).
Several improvements during the change flight process in the Manage Reservations section

This is tremendously well done - by far the best in the industry. The UA and US websites can't even provide reliable flight status information.

This is indeed excellent!
Now, if someone can explain why has ZFV (PHL Amtrak station) disappeared from the possible list of airports?? IS that a glitch that will be fixed or did we lose ZFV as an option? (I tried asking this question in the Amtrak thread, but no responses).
