New way to search for airports/cities
Has anyone noticed the new feature on nwa.com that allows you to search for airport/cities by typing in the first few letters of the city?
You can't do this from the main page!
If you go to "More Search Options" and start typing "AM" for Amsterdam, you get a list of all of the cities beginning with AM. It takes about a second for the list to come up and the list gets shorter if you type names in.
So if you don't know the airport code and want to start typing "Ca", up pops a list of 30+ names. Then if you type the r for "car", you get Cardiff, UK. There is still a few bugs to be worked out like when you type "Ca", the list is so long it goes off the screen.
Enjoy. It's a nice feature.
