profile setup - bookings search facility

Issue #39 new
Former user created an issue

I would like to see a feature added whereby I can set up my profile of preferred planes and instructors (say up to two or three each). This would be a permanent profile until I decide to change it at a later date. For each new block of bookings, I could skip this step in future and go directly to the next step:

  1. I set some dates within which (and allowable timeframes) to search for bookings, and click the "Search" button that would filter a list of all relevant slot dates based on my profile and within the specified timeframe. This would avoid repeatedly scrolling/clicking from one day/month to the next in search of available slots with preferred instructor and plane.

  2. From here, I would simply select the days and times most suitable to me. These could be colour coded by plane and instructor to facilitate ease of use. For instance, I almost always fly with the same instructor and plane, so I would want to prioritise selection of these over other instructors and planes - "at a glance" colour coding would enable me to identify the correct combination I need to select more easily so I can focus more on the dates and times.

  3. When done, I click another button to review all my bookings on one page. If satisfied, I click "confirm bookings" and an email is auto-generated with all the bookings listed (in one single email, not one email per booking as currently occurs). If not happy with my selection, I can click "Edit" to edit my selection, or "Cancel" to exit the search form entirely.

Again, for me at least, this would facilitate ease-of-use from a disability perspective (affecting all upper limb joints). In this setup, I believe it should be possible to "tab" my way through the page, without needing to use a mouse/pointer, and reduce the number of steps and time needed to complete a block of bookings. Plus my email inbox will feel a little lighter!
