Pretty robust upgrade from previous version, maybe they want FT-ers to migrate here.

Still... not a sortable spreadsheet though.
Seeing a lot of phantom fares on the FC maps...Kayak over the past couple of days has been very buggy as well..
Cheers

FC has always shown phantom fares. One of its favorites is ORD-STT dirt cheap.

I'm glad it's not just me! I thought maybe something was wrong with my browser... can't get dates to populate on the explore map and the random ones that I'm able to, the total cost is way off...

Tokyo - $796... actually $983
Yangon - $1095... actually $1867
LAX - $102... actually $204

Maybe I'll try the FC tool until the folks at Kayak can fix their map

Kayak has gotten really bad with showing phantom fares is it just my bad luck or are other people noticing this too?

Kayak has been going downhill lately... I am a huge fan of them, well, I should say, I used to be... They are taking things away that used to make them an awesome tool for bookings....
I am sorry, but I have to agree with you...

I think they've always been that bad. But over all it's a good percentage. I just don't believe it until I see it. Click through, open in new tab. nbd

Agree. And the phantom fares will last for days on end. it's not like they'll just get fixed quickly; I saw one phantom fare last for nearly 2 weeks, even though every time you clicked "buy", the $2000 fare turned into a $5000 fare!
