1. It is not immediately obvious to someone visiting the website for the first time what the + and - icons do. Seasoned users might notice something different, click on it and realize, but it would be nice to advertise your new feature.
2. When choosing flexibility, almost always I click on a date that is most suitable to me and from there on would like to navigate to more flexible dates. If I choose a date x and would like to search flights on x-1, x, and x+1, I would have to change the date to x-1 and then choose +2 or choose x+1 and then choose -2. That might be slightly inconvenient, but not much. It would be nice to allow you to choose days ahead and behind independently. That way I choose a date, realize I could be flexible and maybe choose +2 days and -1 days (or whatever).
But seriously, thank you for not adding this feature as a drop down. I like how all of your drop downs appear in a horizontal line and it's very pretty.
The downside to this, of course, is that there isn't an apparently obvious way to search for "both before and after" a given day. I do this often for trips that start on Friday, where I like to consider leaving on Saturday morning or on Thursday evening (taking off work Friday if the price is low enough.)
What say you to this? Am I in the "other 20%" for doing such queries? I like to think the rest of the world is just like me, but in actuality I'm sort of a weird kid.
