Things that were wrong with my experience buying flights on aa.com edit
* The "start over" button was just a few pixels away from the "continue"
button
* The phone number fields included a "country" pulldown with numeric country
codes, good thing I knew mine off the top of my head, but not exactly
friendly
* The phone number "area" field was limited to 3 characters... but area codes
in the UK are 4 (5 if you include the leading 0)
* There was no visible indication that I had gone over the 3 character limit,
so the first time I submitted the form I got to the confirmation and saw
that one of the numbers in my phone's area code had been silently lost...
* ... at which point I tried to edit the phone number, but the only option I
could see was "start over"... so I did
* and of course it had forgotten EVERYTHING I had previously entered
* so then I tried leaving the area code field blank and putting my whole
number in the strangely named "cell" field
* but that field has a limit of 15 characters!
* finally, I figured out that putting the first three characters of the area
code in the "area" field, then prefixing the rest of my number with the
last of the characters in my area code, worked
* I got to the end... clicked the "print my schedule" button and the popup
told me that I couldn't do that because I either had bad cookies, had
waited too long, had used the back button or had opened another browser
window.
