The Seasonal Service page for Fla does not allow clicking thru to "Check Schedules." The other Seasonal Service pages are fully functional.

FLL was already down to four days per week.

Starting in September, MKE-MCO goes to 3x/week A319 for fall.
Who knows what will ultimately turn out Comptition-wise, Southwest/AirTran's August-to-November 2012 schedule is already two daily frequencies lighter to Florida than they ran in 2011. I'd guess that's to help fare levels rise and imprive load factor.

Have to believe this is a prelude to dropping MKE-MCO completely. The late afternoon departure not as attractive to leisure travelers as the morning flight was. Not eager to use MKE-DEN-MCO, although I have in the past to get the miles. F9 is a now a GREAT airline...if you live in the DEN area!

New website feature for checking "today's prices," brings up calendar with fares posted on dates. The functionality is similar to what some other carriers offer. This is a nice addition to the F9 site.

The feature provides a very quick look at fares for months out, all displayed in a full-month's calendar view.

Has anyone else noticed that the fares displayed on the calendar are not always accurate? If you click thru, sometimes the available fares are higher, sometimes they are lower, no matter which routing is selected on the booking page; the difference in pricing is not just the rounding to the closest dollar, either. I have noticed fares displayed on the calendar that actually end up being almost double in cost, after checking availability. Is fare availability not taken into account for "today's prices?

Aw jeez, seriously? Of course you need caching on a data set that large but what kind of Micky-Mouse school of programming did their developers go to that they'd rely on user actions to rebuild the data piece-by-piece? At least flush the cache when new fares are loaded or set it to rebuild automatically every 5 minutes... as someone involved in web dev myself I'd be embarrassed to turn out a product with such a glaring deficiency.
