If this were code in a library I'd try to wrap it to provide the interface/behaviour that I want, but I guess that ba.com doesn't offer any such interface, and even if it did, setting up an entire flight-booking webservice is probably beyond the effort/reward threshold of pretty much all of us (which is a shame, as one of the best things about OSS (or even just extensible software) is that one of us can fix it for all of us). Sorry, a complete ramble there.

Although I'm sure that there's some catch in their software to stop you doing that (and I've no idea if you'd want to go twice in as many months).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
