SAS web site very poor

This is one of the worst airline sites I have ever visited.

It doesn't work at all with Opera 7.1 -FreeBSD which is admittedly not a
ferociously popular combination, but almost many other airlines seem to be
ale to work with it (e.g. AA, BA, AF, etc. etc.).

Rather more surprising, it doesn't work well at all with MS IE 5 - W2000.

I tried to send them a message to that effect, but I couldn't do that
either...

Works just fine with a current version of IE

Maybe you need more than 300 baud.

It can't even validate with the official html validator at validator.w3.org

And take a look at the contents of the http://www.scandinavian.net it doesn't
even have the required DTD at the top, nor the HTML start and /HTML end
tags. And it is flowed into a single very long line. By definition, this is
not an HTML document.


When a company makes special offers available only on the web, and their web
site is non-standards compliant, shouldn't one be able to obtain that special
by telephone ?

At all, meaning you can't see anything at all? I'm using Opera 7.23,
though on Windows, and it seems to be working fine with me.

Thanks for pointing this out. This is perhaps the most annoying airline
website I have seen in quite some time. Just about every airline website
allows to to enter your travel parameters right from the main page. This one
makes you jump through multiple screens. Why even give the option for
selecting between high-speed internet and dial-up? When you're trying to
conduct commerce, web pages should always be low-bandwidth.

But that's not the worst of it. Like you, the search results bombed for me.
It just flat-out doesn't work. I'm using IE6.0 under Windows XP, and
received the following message numerous times:

"Error type -140004 has occurred. Please try again later."

The Danes are know for quality stuff, one reason why this POS web site is
such a surprise!

The site used to be quite good; I don't know why they changed it. Probably
their marketing department wrested control away from IT.

Another mystery is why I blamed this on the Danes. Sorry, I had a brain fart
while I was typing

And believe it or not, the latest version of the site is actually an
improvement over the version offered just a few months ago, which was its
absolute nadir.
