[Travelandtourism] Accessible flight booking sites?

[Doug Lawlor]

Hello all:
I am new to this list and am not sure if this is the right place to post 
this or not but here goes. I am looking for a an accessible flight 
booking site that I can use from Canada and get Canadian prices if at 
all possible. The couple of sites I have looked at have one major 
problem which is the way you select your departure and return dates. 
Instead of providing a set of standard combo boxes that a screen reader 
can access, there seems to be a read only edit box containing the words 
MM/DD/YYYY and some sort of a calender that one has to interact with. 
Using NVDA and FireFox 3.6 this is represented as a clickable item. 
Nothing happens when one presses on the calender to interact with it. If 
one uses System Access and the System Access Mobile Network you are 
presented with a read only edit box for the date containing the word 
MM/DD/YYYY and the word Callender. Using Safari on the iPhone, IOS 4.2, 
you are presented with the text field containing the word MM/DD/YYYY and 
then the word "calender" which Safari indicates is an image.
If someone wants to check out what I am talking about you can go to 
http://www.flightnetwork.ca/ and try to enter a flight search on the 
home page displayed.
Flight Network is one of the larger companies in Canada for booking 
discount flights from Canada.
     I intend to do some more digging on this today but it would be good 
to know who we can contact from these companies to report these 
accessibility problems with there web sites and get them fixed.

Would love to have more input on this subject.
Thanks all,

Doug
