If you have any questions, please email us directly instead of engaging in speculation here. Thank you.

Best of luck with that. Do you read any of the other threads here?

I think users here would like to see answers on the thread given to questions on the thread ( where possible, as appropriate etc etc)

Answering specific questions is fine, however engaging in negative speculation on what the future of EF will be isn't productive. We specifically emailed the member base to address any fears about the future. It's best to directly email us any specific concerns/suggestions, however everything we said in our email and previous post still holds. Thanks.

Not surprising & in line with the classic startup model - have a great idea, get it going, risk your house, attract customers, survive, build value ... get bought out and smell the roses.
As per other comments, looking forward to user experience being at least maintained or improved.

There is so much opportunity to build and enhance the system. I was recently thinking why no enhancements were being made? This has confirmed my suspicions.

I wonder what we’d all like to see ? Maybe we can collate here and submit to EF?

I’m very happy with the service, but one thing I’d like to see (for economy anyway) is a “reverse seat alert”, where instead of getting an alert when you’re preferred seat comes available, getting an alert when a specific seat becomes occupied , could be handy when trying to game the seat allocations to secure an empty seat beside you.

On the interface, and any risk of it being overdone with new design, perhaps the option of a 'classic view' mode is all they need to keep the existing base happy. This is pretty common for a lot of systems and web services to offer this, so long as it doesn't take much maintaining to retain that classic view. They'd get a good feel for acceptance from old and new users quite quickly by doing this, also.

Cheers,
Matt.

Agree. We don't want what they did to checkmytrip which has gone backwards in a big way.

Or indeed, FlightStats!

Easy. Take all the functionality that Myflights had regarding PNR info and changes and build it into EF.
