I like the "AA style" award search were you don't have to log in or go to the award page to check availability. an save a little time.
I would like to see something like airtran's award booking page that show both the price in miles and price the with money.

I for one, like some of the cosmetic changes on www.delta.com
Don't expect much more than that.

Any plans to add ability to change award flights online? The recently added "Change Flights" for award flights is completely useless. Doing any change (even to the same flight as now!) always results in this message (100% of the time without exception - I've tried on quite a few reservations):
What's the point to have change flights that never works for award flights, and rarely works correctly for revenue (e.g. not taking out the first connecting leg or doing other such tricks)?

Demonstrating to Delta that the Award Calendar is broken is like wrestling with a pig, you'll both get dirty, but only the pig will enjoy it.
BTW I found the following low-low:

From what I've heard the person who was in charge of 'usability' of NWA.com was convinced to stay with Delta and has been hard at work getting delta.dumb up to speed. Knowing the huge task ahead, I wish her and her team the best of luck and appreciate the efforts so far.

But it's certainly possible to redeem on AF. Which makes it one of the few bright spots of Skypesos.
