The info in the OP is out of date.

Also, use fake FF accounts. Not just for this tool but any of them that use your account info. I promise that I'm not stealing your credentials but if the extension gets stuck on a login loop, at least your real account won't be locked out.

Qantas is giving me "Some results are hidden by filters". Searching OAK-KOA on 3/4/16. Debug mode shows that qantas successfully finds flights. BTW - Just found this tool today, and love it!

Requests - 1) I wish I could do multi-multi searches. (SFO/OAK/SJC to HNL/OGG/KOA/LIH) for example.
2) AA searches?

Looks like AS awards weren't being parsed correctly. This is fixed in v0.0.0.77

This isn't hard to do but searches could take forever to complete and the results can become unwieldy.

AA searches
You can search for AA flights using BA,QF or JL.

Thanks. Glad you're liking it.

AA shows me expanded availability when logged in (as an exec plat). Also lets me search for AS flights.

Adding AA seems like bad ROI.

AA doesn't require you to log in to search for awards, so if I added AA it wouldn't show expanded availability and you can already search for AS flights using QF.

having some trouble with BA. checked debug mode, it just goes in an infinite loop where it puts in my user name and password, but the page just refreshes when it's attempting to log in.

Seems to be working fine for me. What version are you on?

That's weird. I haven't had anyone else have problems with BA. Can you try on a different computer?

Love this tool. Is there way to automate the execution? I'd love to run a specific search once a day.

Not at the moment. I started building something to automate searches but I've gotten sidetracked.

Just found this...great tool

Just found this - thanks so much for sharing this capability.

everything appears to be working - except EY. I'm trying JFK-AUH on 6/12 or 6/13 - in F or C. It says no flights. When I compare to the website (etihad guest) or KVS - they both are showing availability.

Perhaps the screen scrapper needs a bit of updating?

Again - this is a great piece of work!

Looks like you're right. I haven't run any EY searches in a while. EY must have changed something.
