29. USABILITY TESTING: Houston, we have a “checkout” problem.
People were confused by 3 options even though competitors divided into regular, premium and discount, it
was better to collapse it because people didn’t think that way when checking out.
People wanted checkout right away with having completed the steps.
Results:
Moved seating selection towards the beginning of checkout and combined seat location with pricing
