The website seems to be free of any spelling errors. The font size is big enough for people to read. The layout of the page is uniform throughout the site. The home page has a slightly different layout, but all of the subpages have the same layout. Having the same layout in every page makes the website more organized and it also helps visitors easily find what their looking for. Another feature that I noticed is that every page has a print this page feature and an option to increase or decrease the font size.

The website follows the //strive for consistency// rule. The top menu bar remains consistent throughout the site and the words used for the links and help screen are common terminologies used in most websites. I entered several flight numbers in their arrival/departure form to test out its functionality. It follows the //offer informative feedback// rule. When I entered a flight number, it either showed me the result or displayed a message indicating that there were no matches found. However, it does not follow the //offer simple error-handling// rule. I entered some invalid flight numbers and it didn’t give me an error or try to correct me. To solve this issue, they could add a validation feature where it gives you suggestions on the correct formatting of the flight number. The form lets users reenter the flight number if they made a mistake or entered an invalid flight number. This obeys the //permit easy reversal of actions// rule.

The information on the website is organized. Once you search for a particular flight in their arrivals/departure form, you can sort the list by different categories such as the airline name, flight number, status, gate, arrival time, etc. It also lets users to search by airline, flight number, and/or city. This allows user to easily find the information that they need. Overall, the information is easy to find and its organization is appealing to the audience. The website is also available in Spanish.
