Hi again, I've written a simple OCaml script (using OCurl) that detects seat/schedule changes of your flights on one particular airline (guess which:-). http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~sumii/united/ In case anybody (other than myself) uses this program, please let me know whether it works - it is a little hard to test because it requires real reservations and changes! (It worked for me at least a few times in the last several months.) If you don't understand why such a thing is useful, either (A) you don't fly much, (B) you are _so_ patient that you don't feel much pain when sitting in a non-bulkhead economy-class seat for 14 hours, (C) you are rich enough to fly in business/first class without winning the waitlisting competitions for free upgrades, or (D) you haven't yet discovered the crazy world of frequent flyers.;-) In the last case, you would have some fun by taking a look at http://www.seatguru.com/ and http://www.flyertalk.com/ for example. -- Eijiro Sumii (http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~sumii/) Department of Computer and Information Science, University of Pennsylvania
