[ok] Micro feature request

Would be a little less nagging if we could have the default region for technical stop as "whole world" since for most airlines it won't be in the same continent as base airport. Saves a click

Thanks

YES! Thank you!

As an airline based in SIN, I'll petition against it
80% of my tech stops are in Asia:
 - Pakistan / Afghanistan for 757PF to Europe
 - Central Siberia for the US East Coast
 - Japan / Kamchatka / Eastern Siberia for 50% of US West Coast / Central US.
Only a handful of routes go through Cold Bay, Anchorage or such.

But as a general rule, yes, the tech stop is usually on another continent.

but you know your usual airport codes and "Whole World" works just the same (tech stop airports are usually way down the list anyways)

+1. If nothing else make it an option we can set or not in settings.

Or, first try the selected option (same continent as HQ).

If the result is empty, switch to whole world and perform another search.

Yes / no

I'm a techs-stop perfectionist I work hard to get the most I can get, very often using different settings for each leg, bagging five mins here and there so it fits my schedules and reduce fuel burn

Depends on the area your tech stops are usually located, which might vary quite a bit depending on where your base / destination is. SIN has basically only 2 areas to fish tech stops from (Siberia, Pakistan/Afghanistan, and a few in Alaska). But in previous GW#2 for my flights to Oceania or South America from Moscow, the options were plenty, real plenty, and I didn't know the codes.

Anyway, just a rant, nothing precise about the feature request (got nothing against it). Guess I had a little too much wine with my flatmate
