I have a overhaul of the site in the planning. I am going to rework the entire interface to make Route Builder more self-explanatory.
As one of the first people to be confused by the route builder, here is a UI suggestion. It's only to cover a subset of what the route builder does, but I think it's a useful subset. What about allowing either the source or destination to cover multiple airlines using the same basic interface? So one could say FROM: JFK/BOS/IAD TO:FRA, and this would build the queries JFK-FRA, BOS-FRA, IAD-FRA. Or similarly FROM:IAD TO:FRA/CDG/LHR.
This has the advantage that it is very intuitive (all you need to do is describe an example).
