Bristol International Airport

I'm not one to moan about sucky web sites, having admittedly been responsible for a few myself over the years, but this just takes the biscuit:

Bristol International Airport

Putting to one side for the moment the fact that it does not even attempt to validate to any sort of standard, there is literally no way to obtain flight information from a vanilla install of a common browser.

What hope do they have if I, a pretty advanced internet user with a familiarity with the airport itself, can't work out how to get a flight to Germany? Take a look - you can't even get the search results as text. What are they teaching these kids in school these days?


the info is there kinda

You could check the departures board which appears to be plain html.

Or if you know the airport code you could try a url like

I have been on 5 or 6 airline webpages this week looking for tickets to Porto and I do not think any other ones have used flash. Hopefully it will stay that way.
