AffiliateFuture Launches Flight Search Boxes for Affiliates

**pistol101** · 17-08-07

Hi Mark707,

Drop me a quick email and we'll sort you out.

Here's an example of the holiday search prefixed Tunisia - Tunisian holidays, hotels, flights and culture

Nice one on prepopulating the flights search box.... now just the holidays and car hire!

Is the flight database actually working? I'm giving this a go trying to find flights to Spain and it doesn't seem to matter what destination in Spain I choose, or the dates, I just get:

Sorry, we do not have any flights that match your search.
This may be due to a lack of availability, or no results from our partners.
Please search again with alternative dates or choose another destination.

An example: London area to Seville (SVQ). 01-Oct-2007 to 07-Oct-2007. 1 adult. This search system says nothign available.

I try the same search on LastMinute.com and it finds 30 matching flights over 3 different airlines.

**andysears** · 23-08-07

Steve, It seems to be working, getting results for London Luton to Reus, (well 1 result at least)

**stevebrowne** · 23-08-07

hmm - maybe I'm just unlucky with the destinations/dates I was choosing, OR the flight database searched are different from Opodo or Last minute (both of which give lots of results)

This is a great idea but:

- When I paste the JavaScript into my site, it decreases the sizing of my other text in paragraphs (which I specified in %).

- So far, none of the searches I have tried have given any results, e.g.

Bristol to Paris (CDG)
Depart: Tuesday 18 December 2007 Return: Thursday 8 November 2007
1 Adult, Direct

Gatwick Airport to New York (JFK)
Depart: Wednesday 28 November 2007 Return: Thursday 6 December 2007
1 Adult

Is the flight search tool working at the moment? Are others finding results are always returned?

Thanks

I'm dipping my toe in the travel industry for inclusion in a new site, and rather than reinventing the wheel programming something myself, I figured I'd take a look at this. I'm finding the same as everyone else - zero results returned for dozens of queries (including some of the UK's most popular routes to european destinations).

If you drop me a quick email with the loctaion of the search box and some of the queries your running we'll get your set-up checked asap.

I tried it on your own example page - I haven't implemented it on a site as yet (I wanted to see how well I could integrate it, before I started any work on it).

**Iskander** · 20-09-07

That's because the javascript contains a separate list of declared styles.

Affiliate Future, can you please tell your programmers to make the CSS styling inline (ie. to put the styles inside the element angle brackets) so that they don't mess up the on-page styles we have already declared.

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm getting the same error but I find that when this message comes up:

Sorry, we do not have any flights that match your search.
This may be due to a lack of availability, or no results from our partners.
Please search again with alternative dates or choose another destination.

If you press search again then the results appear as they should so something
doesn't appear to be right.

Just as a suggestion it would be good if we could choose to opt out of
displaying certain flight companies like iirc Singapore Airlines.

Cheers

Steve

Hi

I am still getting the following for all destinations. For example flights to Paris from any UK airport for middle of October.

"Sorry, we do not have any flights that match your search.
This may be due to a lack of availability, or no results from our partners.
Please search again with alternative dates or choose another destination."

Could someone from AF please advise.

Thks

I left this for a few months because it seemed like it wasn't ready to launch.

I have just gone through the wizard to generate a new custom search box and now the box won't even display. I have tried a couple of different browsers but no luck.

Is it just me or is anyone else having problems?

If it isn't displaying - Affiliate Future, what's going on? You launched this months ago - is it going to work or not?
