Active Lookup panel
Posted: 09 Apr 2004, 03:44Added a new feature this evening, inspired by what I assume was a light-hearted request on A.net for a lookup engine that would always be at his fingertips while reading posts full of three-letter Airport Codes. With ten's of thousands of them, you can understand why!
So, I wrote it for VirginFlyer. In the box above, you can search for an airport code by entering the name, city or country or you can enter an airport code you spot in a post, and it'll tell you the airport.
But then I got carried away, and added all the other things you might want to check while either writing or reading a post, so...
The glossary is there for all those technical terms and abbreviations;
You can use the Aircraft database to check the name & registration of the VS fleet, or enter Suite to see which have Suites, or enter LGW to see the 747s at Gatwick.
Flights will show you which flight number goes where. When it departs, when it arrives and which days of the week it operates. Enter LAX, for instance, and you'll see the flights Virgin operates there, when they depart, when they arrive and the flight number.
And finally (for the moment), you can also check retail therapy. Enter a product name, a category or even a price.
The only thing you need to remember to do is select the database you want to query in the drop down. It's been written so you can check the database while still writing a post (ie, it won't refresh your data and lose the stuff you've been typing).
