ha! I just tried to find a flight from Frankfurt to Moscow and also wasn't successful because of your software insisting on 'Frankfurt/Hahn(HHN)'. Please fix this fast! I also tried 'From Frankfurt/Main' and 'From FRA' but wasn't understood:-( Apart from that, I like the 'command line approach to finding flights a lot.
Suggestion: Why not open the third party travel sites (Orbitz etc.) in a Javascript-Window (instead of a new browser window).
Then I tried to report the airport issue to you by clicking on the feedback button on the right. After entering my feedback, upon clicking on 'Submit', the feedback window showed me something like 'there was a problem sending your message...' I tried again, to no avail - sadly, the feedback form didn't tell me what went wrong or what to do next, it only offered me to add a 'sad' emotion to my message. Which wasn't of much use, because the 'problem sending the message' prevented me from showing you my sadness (Ironically, the third party company that makes your feedback system has named itself 'getsatisfaction'). Well, I closed the feedback window and found another way to post my feedback:
http://getsatisfaction.com/wundrbar/topics/i_didnt_want_to_p...
I only had to create an account, submit a fake email address, enter a new password (twice) make up a new username and enter a captcha. After that, I had to enter the password again (twice), because it has to be at least 6 characters long. And, of course, enter the captcha again. After that, I was allowed to post my comment!
frankfurt/main is now the top match for 'frankfurt'. :)
the way to specify an airport if the top match is not right is just to keep typing. eg:
london => london all airports (lon);
london gatw => london, gatwick (lgw);
lon hea => london, heathrow (lhr)
similarly:
sa fr => san francisco;
sa di => san diego
typing frankfurt/main didn't work because the slash was confusing the interpreter. i'm fixing that right now.
sorry you had such a hard time leaving feedback. we've been having sporadic issues with getsatisfaction lately. feel free to email any feedback directly to us at info[at]tripeedo[dot]com.
