Programmers: Can you write this?
What I would like to have is a script that will automatically check me in online, 24 hours to my flight departure so I don't have to get up at 6:00 AM the day before I fly somewhere.
Is that doable? Essentially, want it set up so that after I make my reservations I can go to the script, put in my confirmation number and departure date/time and the script will login to the airlines and check in 24 hours prior. If so, how much $$ ? Thanks |
Your lazy. How often do you do this?

It's possible, all it takes is a CURL / DB combo.
I'd say it'd take a skilled programmer about 3 hours to get the basic framework, 2+ hours to do the http debugging. Depending on the level of interface you want, time on top of that. |

Depends, just one airline, or many?
|
for $50 you can email me the confirmation code and i'll do it, im usually up at 4AM CST

Honestly though, what you're looking for is probably impossible. These airlines drop a huge amount into development, and part of that is to make sure little script kiddies can't login remotely. More than likely, it can't be done. If you ever need some serious development done, then definitely hit me up. I'm sure I can put a smile on your face. :) |

b) I seriously doubt that. I specialise in writing apps like this ;) Quote:

Holy Christ. Macular degeneration is a bitch, huh?

Let me show you exactly what needs to be done.
Please go to http://southwest.com/ Check in Online It asks for Confirmation number, first and last name If you are within 24 hours it takes you to a page where you can click a button to check in and print the pass (don't need the printing done) |
In other words, you are trying to get the low numbered boarding pass so you get a better choice of seats?
Set your alarm. Wake up for 10 minutes, do the work, go back to sleep. What's the big deal? |

My bank has two places for me to input my password and account number, along with Site Keys. Anyone can check me in to my flight as long as they have my confirmation number and my name. |
Wow, they really don't like this practice it seems.
"In a lawsuit filed by Southwest Airlines against BoardFirst, the U.S. District Court in Dallas, Texas recently granted Southwest’s request for an injunction to prohibit BoardFirst from helping our customers get “A” boarding passes. Consequently, we at BoardFirst.com are no longer able to take or process your orders for our service." |
PS. This is what pisses me off about so called "developers" these days. Have no idea what they're talking about, but pass themselves off as "professionals", making my job 10 times harder to get a quality message out there.
And don't even get me started on the Indians, Ukranians and Iranians who offer themselves at $15/hour... |

So, yeah, it's possible. |

I'd love to hear what sort of "security protocols" are supposed to be stopping me. If any repetitious task can be done by a human, then it can be done by a computer just as well. |

I'm not saying what baddog wants is impossible, but just saying it's unlikely that the airlines haven't setup things to make it impossible, that's all. You first login, then check-in to your flight, but in the middle of that there's several things that happen to ensure you're an actual human logging in from the airline's web site, most of which you can duplicate remotely. :2 cents: Anyway, again, if you need quality software, feel free to hit me up. |

Unfortunately, unless I can get this script put together before then I will probably be forced to sit in between to 300 pounders for the flight back home. |
I believe what you are looking for is a Personal Assistant.

I just caught up with your other comments in this post. You obviously have absolutely no idea what you're talking about - it seems you're under the impression the internet works on pixie dust. Take a peek at curl. |
