The info in the OP is out of date.

Also, use fake FF accounts. Not just for this tool but any of them that use your account info. I promise that I'm not stealing your credentials but if the extension gets stuck on a login loop, at least your real account won't be locked out.

Feature suggestion - a date filter if possible? it should a simple text filter of MM/DD format
e.g. say if I search for 3/10 + 7 days (3/10-3/17), but then want to only filter for 3/10, 3/11, or 3/15 only. A date filter seems easier than re-doing the whole search for just 3/15
Thanks

Another feature Suggestion: Putting the results of a completed search into a "tab" would be Fantastic! I find myself searching many complex routes using your tool (which makes it MUCH easier - been using it for years!), but I would make a search and key in on a single segment, then move on and find that would not work with the rest of my trip and need to re-do the first search I made to find a different segment to key my award off of. Lately, I have been "Print Screen"ing and pasting each page of results into photoshop so that I can go back and find new segments to key off of. If we could just start a new "TAB" (like a browser tab), leaving the old results in a different tab preserved/saved for later viewing - and being able to do multiple tabs - would streamline the process enormously.
Thanks for listening, and for the great tool!

Hello,
since a few days the app doesn't work anymore and the website is shutdown with just one line "Site is offline for maintenance".
Does anyone have any idea when or if it will be back sometime?
Would be sad if it's gone.

Enable debug mode? or indicate what program/airline you chose?

I have the extension in Google Chrome and it doesn't even open anymore, the extension is no more in the google store neither and their website is down. I had put in all my FF cards and it worked fine since 3 days ago. I have tried your debug suggestion but no change.

Oh no, I just saw the bad news
https://award.flights/2018/04/08/new-extension/
Trying out the new extension, it's nice and different
I like the Search History = Saved Search < does it sync across devices/browsers?
and now I can do in-page search too with CTRL+F
No swap button for Origin & Destination?

If you are unaware, Chrome Apps are being deprecated for non-ChromeOS platforms. While the timeline is still up in the air, continuing to update the existing app seems like a futile exercise so over the past year or so I have been working on and off into either converting the app into either an extension or an Electron app. While an Electron app would be closer to the current app and I do have a working-ish prototype of one, an extension seems the easier route for distribution. So as of today, the current app will no longer be updated or supported and will be replaced by the award.flights Chrome Extension.
A quick rundown of what’s different can be found here. The main difference is that the extension will open up a new Chrome window and perform searches there. I still recommend you use dummy accounts in case something goes wrong and your account gets caught in a login loop – which can lead to your account being locked.
Some new feature require you to login with a Google account. This is so that your search results can be used across extensions/apps if I decide to make a Firefox extension or Electron app. No personal data other than the email address on the account is stored.
Finally, a number of you have asked if you could donate to the development effort. There is an option to do that now via the extension or from this page but don’t feel like you have to.
I believe everything mostly works but there still may be some hiccups. Leave some feedback if you run into any issues.

Can you try now. I've published an update. Make sure you have version 1.0.14. You may need to force an update of the extension.

Tried again, didn't work - disabled some other extensions. No change. Started to test entries. Look it doesn't work with 2 passengers. Reduced to one - it searches for one flight, then stops after the first departing airport with the image below. Seems to work with only a single departing airport. Using LAX,SFO as departing airports.
