Budget Travel - site that lists routes for ALL the airlines

site that lists routes for ALL the airlines

I'm looking for a site that lists all the regular airlines that fly from destination A to B.

A route list.

I need to fly direct from Shanghai to San Francisco.

I'd like to check out the different rates and flight dates of ALL the airlines that do this route (or routes in general).

Is there an easy way to find this information online?

I know AIR CHINA does this route, but is that the cheapest?

There's a few easy ways to find this online and there's multiple websites that search all/most airlines. Personally, I prefer ITA Software (http://www.itasoftware.com/)'s Trip Planner.

On a side note, going PVG-SFO there are 3 airlines that go direct, Air China, Shanghai Airlines, or United. None of these, by any means, are the cheapest on the route. It's generally going to be be cheaper for you to go via LAX, or even ICN and LAX.

can check out http://www.airwise.com/ for who flies a given routing-doesn't give pricing info though

And of course, don't forget to check out some of the tools listed in the stickies in the Mileage Run forum. Check out farecompare.com--a really useful tool for finding the best fares. The only downside is that you need to use a second site to check seat availability.

the following airlines offer fares on that route: ac, ca, mu, jl, nh, oz, ke, sq, pr, ua, nw, plus a few others that involve codeshares

imo, finding an official list won't help faciliatate your objective because the discount market is one step removed.

ime mu usually proves to be cheapest for oneway fares, while nh is best for roundtrip. of course, there needs to be inventory in the discount fare buckets for either of these to yield results.

i've had the third best luck with ac. however, ac itself does not sell really cheap fares very often ex-china. if you call them, they will provide referalls to to travel agents that do.

The username/password for ita link is "flyertalk".

Is there a difference between that and logging in as guest?

I did not know they had a guest log in. I have not tried it. Anyone else know?
