ITA maxdur -redeye -prop syntax and usage question
I'm trying to price out SEA-NAS, and want to eliminate redeyes and prop planes, with a maximum duration of 12 hours transit time.
Why doesn't SEA:: / -redeye, -prop work? The syntax is accepted, but overnight and prop planes are prominent in the list!
And why does SEA:: / maxdur 720 give you NO flights even on one way itineraries, but SEA:: / maxdur 1400 gives you flights, even though there are many flights of less than 12 hours?
And how do you put all of this together on a round trip itinerary, allowing redeye one direction, but not the other?

ITA Search Limited To OneWorld Members
Is there a short cut to limiting ITA searches to One World or Star Alliance members other than listing all the airlines individually?
Would certainly be helpful....

Anyone know a solution to this problem?

I would imagine this would work with any of the airlines' res. lines, but my only experience is with NW.

In a bit of a hurry tonight, so hopefully that explains it enough to give you an idea of what a fare basis code is.
