It happens that I know people that were working on this (Small world eh 😄) I'll share this with them, I'm sure they will find it interesting 😄

Haha so many times I get past annoying popups and interaction blockers with some simple dev tools hacks, I love that you went so far with this one. Now the question is, did you manage to book a disallowed window seat? You can run javascript commands directly in the console, do they have their own AJAX wrapper or something you can abuse?

"So I open a new Chrome tab, edit the parameter, paste the URL, and hit enter!"

Could you elaborate on this process?
