You can sometimes see flights, fares and detailed fare rules that may not be reflected on an airline's website. Please read the thread for some tips and tricks, screen shots, etc.
A related thread, ITA-Matrix-PowerTools - Userscript for Orbitz/DL/UA/AA/BA/CZ/IB/LA/LH/LX/TK, discusses a user script which is maintained by fellow flyertalk members to enhance the already powerful Matrix of ITA Software by providing new features and booking links.

Hi I was having a look on ITA Matrix for flights to CAI from AMS and I got a fare of Ł209, but the ticket seems to be unavailable, including at travel agents. I tried Expert Flyer's availiability tool and the booking codes on ITA seem to unavailable. Anyone have any clue about this? Thanks.

No L tickets on either: not sure whether ITA or EF are at fault here.

Have the same issue on CDG-OLB with the same airline. Will ask on their facebook site and let you know.

I have been told that if those routes are not on sale because not confirmed yet. May be this is linked with their complicated financial situation and the risk of getting bankrupt by year end.

PSA: ITA Remembers your Preferred Times!
I spent the last 2 weeks thinking ITA was broken. Turns out I had selected some preferred times for Search exact dates. These limit the flights that appear when searching specific dates.
What I didn't realize is these blinders are still applied when you toggle back to See calendar of lowest fares! This is really stupid since you can't see the original selections once calendar view is selected!
I always click an old search to start a new one since it autofills the routing so this effectively crippled the website for me.

Along those lines, another glitch I've noticed is that selecting a non-default currency also appears to be "sticky", even though the selected currency no longer displays in the relevant box on the input form after you return to it.
It's useful for the selection to be sticky, but it would be good if the currency continued to display in the form

Last time I was on ITA, my searches were stumped by a myriad of QPX/Boombox errors every day.
GOod to know it's back in action.

Are most of you guys using the ITA website/software or google flights? I was under the impression google bought ITA, and they are very much the same now?
