Have any of you actually tried using the PTVL system (www.previewtravel.com)? Well, I've been booking flights online for about a year or so, and I think it's fantastic. The ability to select from a list of times and prices is a fantastic convenience. I usually use airfare.com, never had a problem. I've used 3 other systems...also no problem. However, since I own a nice chunk of PTVL, I thought I'd use this system. Java script errors (I'm on IE 4.0) was the first problem. Then no matter what flights I chose, it said I had to re-choose because I didn't allow 45 mins for connecting flights (I had allowed at least 1.5 hours). Had to select a lousy flight time with actually less connect time to get through. End result was $85/ticket MORE than airfare.com. Been online since 1982 and can't remember a more frustrating waste of time. Don't care what this stock does, I sell every last share at open. SM
