Search for airport properties?
If I start typing a location into the "City, airport or attraction:" field, "dall" for example, the website will autofill "Dallas" and similar locations such as DFW Airport. Selecting DFW Airport (or ORD, etc) will then find zero properties.
This occurs with IE or Firefox.
Call me nutty, but I would think that the ability to search by airport locations would be a useful feature for a global accommodations' website.

Hi LRD,
I just tried to recreate the issue on my end using "DFW" and did get a search result with the various properties in that area. I am thinking that there may have been a temporary issue...could you try it again and advise whether you are successful or not.
So sorry for the trouble.
Thanks!

Truly weird!
I tried it again, with both browsers, and have only been able to get the site to autofill the "city" field once.
Again, as to methodology, I'm going to http://www.wyndham.com/main.wnt and attempting to do multiple searches. (On my first visit to the page, "city" is pre-filled - presumably Wyndham is using some geolocate function to determine my location - and the search may/may not work normally.) But, trying subsequent searches is inconclusive due to the autofill issue.
Regardless, I have never been able to successfully search by manually entering just "dfw" in the "city" field.
