trip.com site
i used to use trip.com to view ITN results. now the totally changed into some stupid new site which looks no different than any dumb travel site.....i want to write a compain to them, but i do not hold hope
is there any substitute site? for which i can view F4J9D4Y9B9H9...etc (other than airline sites such as ual.com)

I agree. Maybe if we speak up about it, they will do something about it. I have booked tickets with them before but they have lost my business. I liked the availabilty results (F9Y9L9 etc.) to check the chances of a oversold flight. However, it has become cheaper and rewarding to use the airline websites directly - for example, NWA will give you 4,000 miles for a online purchase. They are saving money by not paying the commission to trip.com and you did not call a 1-800 number and speak to a agent.

Personaly, even if I can't book, I use biztravel.com which is very useful.

I used to use trip.com too, since it had less slow-loading crap around the bookings screen. But now, I can't get into it at all. It takes a couple of minutes to load www.trip.com. Then, if I click on "flights", I wait about 3 mins and get this:
"Failure of server APACHE bridge:
Request timed out after 120 seconds
Build date/time: Dec 4 2000 10:43:31"
How do you get it to respond at all? For those who've managed to get the site to work, is it still using the old user profiles? Have they got rid of the option for showing full class availability, or have they maybe just not implemented it properly?
