Booking a flight

Post by BVU-069 » Sat Jan 30, 2021 6:29 pm

Hi Joe

Just wondering on the booking a flight page, if the tick could be moved between the Flight Number and To, instead of being on the far right after Distance.

I must be getting to old now.

Well of course it 'could' be move, but should it be moved?

Looking at these pages again the select route page is the checkmark at the right side with a single click, followed by a radio button on the left side where you have to push submit to confirm. If any change would be made it would be to make the select route page work just like the select aircraft page. What do others think, should we do this?

I often get in trouble with the wife when she askes 'can you something for me?' to which I reply yes I can do that, and then continue to do what I was doing, soon after that I have to inform her, you asked me if I can do that, but did not ask me to actually do it.

I knew what you ment, just was wondering why should we. Putting the checkboxes in the middle like that would not be consistent with anything else on the platform, and its always better to be consistent that right.

As I said earlier, I might consider adding radio buttons on the left side of the table with a confirm button like aircraft selection on the next page, but moving them in the middle like that I don't think is a good idea.

What do others think?

Negative - streamlined with other pages as is please.

Select/Action tab is always on the far right with everything else.

This may sound overly simple, but if you window is too wide and the checkmarks are too far to the right, you can always use the mouse and make your web browser window narrower.

The one thing I have learned about UI design is you need to keep things consistent, and as Sam just pointed out, for the most part all our check boxes are on the right side of the table, this conversation has made me look back at the book flight pages and see that the radio buttons for selecting the aircraft that are on the left side are probably on the wrong as they are not consistent with anything else, but given that its been this way for a very long time don't think I want mess with it.

But as always more opinions are welcome,

No change necessary. Natural and useful to scan all info before clicking
