I've seen it before too. Keep trying. Safari may not work at times. Try Firefox.

 

This….…...…

 

Chrome didn't work... I'll try something else. I was able to cancel the ground transpo via the upcoming hotel page but Mem says that's not good enough. They say they still paid the GZ-HKG van ride not taken and won't honor the deviation. Sure be nice if they stopped changing the page layout and the links actually worked. I'll just call scheds everytime now.

 

It's clear IT is done with that project. They just finished Expense Reports.

I wonder what's next. Not like they'll give us advance warning.

If you guys see something please say something so I'll know.

I'll go back to reading about how they hear us and mountain climbing now....

 

Link is dead again today 1200 local Paris time with Safari. Been trying for a few hours. Works on Chrome, my iPhone and iPad though.

 

FYI. Researched and booked front-end DH for 01 Jan online through corporate/global travel (whatever they're called this week). Still haven't deviated, both tix showing active.

 

I just tried this, but with a front end DH. I wanted to see if I could JUST buy the deviation ticket without having to deviate. It was all looking good until I hit SUBMIT for the ticket I wanted to buy. It booked me the ticket but also deviated me on the front end without me ever checking the boxes to deviate. Not what I had in mind!

Maybe one thing to consider doing, is if you have another trip within three days, is to select that as the trip to book the deadhead off of. Of course, you have to have a trip with that parameter. Otherwise, I say screw, it call corporate travel.

Though they seemed to have fixed many things with the website now. Finally.

 

Unfortunately it has always been that way with this new system. If you choose the "select" button next to a DH leg in order to buy a deviation ticket, you will deviate that leg when you submit for the ticket.

I'm pretty sure you could have selected the flight on the back end of the trip (assuming no DH there) to buy your ticket for the front DH. This would work the same as the scenario I described (that your replied to) where I had no DHs on the trip. Initially, the system will attempt to force the date for the tickets to match the date of your last flight on the trip. You just change the date to the one you want, fill in the rest of the ticket info and buy it. Since you are not selecting the legs with the DHs, it will not deviate you on those when you submit. It will give you some kind of warning message that the ticket date doesn't match (I can't remember the exact wording). You ignore the warning and submit and the ticket gets purchased without a deviation of your actual DHs.

I haven't done that exact scenario, but I'm 99% sure it would work as I described. I say that due to one other issue I've encountered. The "select" options at the front/back legs of the trip (DH or no DH) appear to be one time use only. I bought a ticket using the front DH selection and deviated during the purchase process. My plans changed and I cancelled my ticket using the on-line option (which is nice - one less call to GT). When I attempted to purchase a new ticket in the deviation system, it would not let me select the front leg again. I had to select the back leg (no DH) of the same trip, change the date and submit as I described above and it worked. Maybe the "select" options reset eventually when the system registers the ticket cancellation and they can be re-used, but I wasn't patient enough to wait and see.

Anyway, there's a few more data points for dealing with this "improvement".

 

The online cancellation of your deviation ticket now restores the Select button so you can buy another deviation ticket. The cancellation doesn't un-deviate you.
