#32Bug
Go to

Scroll down, click on the 'learn more' underneath the Internet section - link is 'fpo'
Now, how do I report it? :)

#33Best scrolling experience I've seen in sites like this. It might not be right for all sites, but I would like to see it almost everywhere from now on.
Why? I find it absolutely horrendous personally and would avoid any webpage that used it (got to the end of the presentation on my second try as I literally rage quit the first time).
Some reasons as to why I severely dislike it: 1) When it scrolls the background changes color. There's multiple transitions going on. It's sort of like going to a different website. I lose my entire concentration and interest. 2) No scroll bar. I can't get to the final slide without painfully going slide by slide. 3) When scrolling with the mouse, I lose control of the webpage for about a second. I can keep spinning the mouse wheel but nothing is happening. It's infuriating.

#34It looks like I can't book a flight. "BUMMER. NO FLIGHTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THIS DATE. PLEASE TRY ANOTHER DATE." Am I supposed to keep clicking around until I get something? Can I see a listing of "Available flights on the calendar." I tried booking DCA to SAN.

#35Scrolling becomes is really buggy if you Cmd + f to search for something.
But overall, nice UI.

#36I really don't like this new UI. Instead of having a sorted drop down, now there's a bunch of boxes I have to look through to find the one I'm searching for. Takes a lot longer than it used to.

#37The scrolljacking really makes for a terrible UI/UX. Designers: why is this something we're seeing more often? What is the main benefit?

I disagree. I prefer the new bigger box UI. It took a mere moment to understand everything is in alphabetical order, and scanning through them was much quicker than trying to pick from a dropdown list.

#39"Playful avatars", a "cheeky sense of humor". How is that a benefit to us? It's like they left in copy from the agency pitch.

#40Just booked a flight I'd been putting off; the new experience is worlds better than other airlines, though it still has its issues.
My favorite airline is still United; their website will let you get to the final billing page, and submit your cc, only to find that "that flight isn't available".
