Just spoke to webchat...all of the "brand specific" pages are down..this means no affiliate links!

Wouldn't it make sense to design a site that could load through Gogo? It's as though the Web designers don't know the word functional. I tried to purchase tickets while in the air on Friday night, but finally gave up and went to the AirTran site to finish buying the tickets. The much simpler AirTran site loads quickly.

Getting efficiently coded webpages from 3rd party outsourced development companies in India is not going to happen.
Interesting thing, I saw the new website a few hours ago and now its the previous look on a different computer.

Is the website completely broken at the moment? I've tried Chrome and IE, both of which are not rendering the site correctly.

I wish they would finish building the new website instead of this constant back and forth. The old one in my opinion works just fine.

What's happening with the website? Was the new layout just a test? Anyone knows anything?
