Home page

This page has been merged with the booking page in order to direct a new customer straight to the page where they can search for available flights. There are links across the top of the page for navigation and user management which adapt automatically to the logged in status.

Booking page

On this page, a user can find flights matching their filled criteria:

This data is pulled from the database, validated and sent to the server when the form is submitted.

Search results are shown allowing users to see 3 days either side of their selected date making it easier to find a matching flight overall.

Selecting 'Book this flight' takes the user to a confirmation page. Once they click confirm booking, the data is revalidated to ensure the seats have not been sold in the time the user was scrolling.

And an invoice page will appear once confirmed:
