Times change when adjusting search options

[michellearoo]

When searching for flights, the times always default to "morning". You can change it to "anytime", and hit "search" and get your results, but if you then want to make a change (like specify a carrier, or look at the next day), the times default back to "morning" and I have to change them again. How can I get it to remember that my time selection was "anytime"? Alternatively, how can I set it to be the default for all flight searches?

Hi @michellearoo ,

With reference to below article, it is technically not feasible to set up default time as "Anytime".

Please refer to the below article for more information.

If this answers your query, then please mark solution as accepted.

Ok, thank you, but can it at least remember my initial search conditions? It resets from "anytime" to "morning" every time it gives the search results so I have to change it again every time I alter a parameter.

Hi @michellearoo ,

I don't think so system will remember initial search conditions. However, let's take Kevin's confirmation here. 

@KevinD - Can you please help here.

@michellearoo looks like @PoojaKumatkar has this topic covered. I can't say anything else that hasn't already been mentioned. 🙂

Unfortunately, Anytime is not an option as the default setting.

Ok, I can accept that, but my main point was that I had already changed the search parameters... but when the results come in it changes them back again. So each time I want to adjust my search parameters (e.g. carrier) I also have to change the times over and over and over again.

@michellearoo I tested this myself and I noticed similar behavior. My defaults are set to Morning and +-3. However, when changing the parameters, my +- would go back to the default of 3, but it would keep my time of day as is.

@KevinD Yes, but when you use Anytime it doesn't save it and you have to change it each time you adjust an option (e.g. I see the early flights are limited so I want to look at the evening before instead).

----> but I have found a solution (or someone has updated the system): you can set to 12pm/midday/noon and set the window to +/- 12 hours and this is effectively "anytime". This seems to stick.
