Flight search automation

[George Sakkis]

I'm trying to use mechanize to fill in a "find a flight" form and then
get back the results, but I'm not sure how to make it wait until the
results page appears; the response after submitting the form is the
"please wait while we are searching for your flights" page. Any ideas ?

releases it's wait que?

Sorry, I've no idea.. not even sure if they use java or whether this
matters. Can you guess by trying, say, http://www.travelocity.com/ ?
Expedia and Orbitz have also a waiting page, hopefully I can figure
them out once I have one working.

If you look at the <<TRAVELOCITY>> generated HTML @Travelocity

**Snippet
function on_load()
{
var finurl = "AirSearch.do?SEQ=11510863338485232006";
window.location.replace(finurl);
**
It is basically a re-direct.. you should be able to re-request an HTTP
to the base path from the original query w/ your new URL for the
session result.
Base URL= http://travel.travelocity.com/flights
So now you would request
http://travel.travelocity.com/flights/AirSearch.do?SEQ=11510863338485232006
