I’d like to recommend dohop.com as the best flight planner I’ve found. It specialises in finding the cheapest fare amongs lots of airlines.

Nice javascript loader, that’s quite a very useful function!!
But i’ve seen a smiliar possibility to load and execute/insert javascript and css code dynamically. It was the TwoBirds Framework, here: http://ajaxian.com/archives/twobirds-lib-20-released

Nice service. I think there is a lot of useful things that are possible to implement using the sliders idea.

I liked it. I was actually surprised when a little focus outline showed up around the slider, and it responded to my arrow keys. When I started tabbing around the application it turned out to be mostly keyboard accessible.

Using FF2, some keyboard access areas that could be improved:

- For some reason the filters under the plus signs on the left cannot be reached

- The modal type of dialog with the destination details does not restrict focus to itself… I can just tab out of it, and I can’t close it (Escape key perhaps, or a little close button?)

- The popups with extra information about “things to do” do not open when their link is focused

- For some reason responsiveness is sometimes very low

- There are some twilight zones where it is completely unclear what happened to the focus, it just seems to have disappeared

So nice but no price yet :) With a little more work all the current features could be made keyboard accessible, and it would be a nice showcase.

in my opinion, this can be done easily using YUI, with better results… AND it’ll work in firefox. AND opera.
