What do we want from an airline website?
Doesn't the quality and scope of airline websites vary greatly from airline to airline.
I sometimes get frustrated when a piece of information that I expect from an airline isn't available on their website.
What should we expect on every site?
My wish list would include:
a full time table
a route map
pictures of the seats (indivudually and not just an interior shot of the aircraft) in each class so we can get an idea about how comfortable it is likely to be
Any other ideas?

Would I would like to see:
1) Ability to change routings
2) Ability to scan in a boarding pass and have an immediate recognition (for missed miles)
3) Ability to book different flights in different classes of service (a la UAL connection or easysabre).
4) Ability to "choose" connection city without having to imput it in as a stop.
What I already appreciate:
1) The fact that the sites exist are a gift to all travelers.
2) The fact that I can be creative in my routings without having to go through an agent.
3) Being able to choose seats
4) Being able to access FF account.
5) Being able to sign up for promotions
