Excuse me, dahrlings, but...

My Kingdom For A Timetable!

Google, shmoogle. All the algorithms in the world and all of Expedia’s men could not put a timetable together again.

Is it just me, Pumpkins? Or has a client ever said to you **&^%#@!)>*% do I find out when the effin’ flights from Flin Flon fly?” Maybe they want to schedule their holiday for that week. Or, just maybe, someone likes to see what options they have.

Apparently that has escaped the notice of Two-point-Stupid web developers too busy inventing ways to secure a consumer’s credit card info before showing taxes and other equally consumer friendly tools.

Hellooo? Isn’t ‘who goes where when’ the most basic travel information? Invented during the Plate-olithic Era, the timetable is a dream for dreamers, scanners and arm chair travel planners. I like to shop, ok??

And, by the by, speaking of Google reinventing travel -- if any one of us duffuses had launched a search system that only resulted in roundtrip economy fares for a couple of U.S. destinations, would news gatherers the world over holler “Stop The Presses”?
