After months of practicing the booking steps for Porto Paradiso Side, I noticed something: if I waited until booking opened, I had to search just to make the new date appear. That meant extra clicks and lost time. So in late 2023, I tried getting the search page ready and changing the date in the URL beforehand. Here's how I did it.

The “more than 80%” figure in the images came from my own attempts at the time. It doesn't tell us how often this will work for someone else, or how the system works today.
