When Will The Website Allow Multi-City Bookings?
I wonder if Darren, Aerobod or anyone else with insight can indicate when the multi-city booking utility might be reactivated on the website?
I need to plan some fall travel and I would prefer to review different booking options online, rather than struggling to do it over the phone and tying up an agent's time.
Is there a timetable for this to happen? Thanks.

mahasamatman - do you mean the https://matrix.itasoftware.com/ site?
If so, then I'm not sure I agree. Half the time when I subsequently go to book the flights, for one reason or another it doesn't work and I have to start all over again. Seems a waste of time.
Or am I missing something here?

And at the risk of sounding like a real amateur here, yes on the ITA itineraries. When I've found specific flights/dates/routings on the Google ITA website mentioned above that I've thought would work, then tried to book them on Westjet's (and other airlines') websites, I often wind up with completely different fares, or am told some routings aren't available, or I can't do it because ... yadda yadda yadda.
If there's a better way to go about it, I'm all ears. Pls PM if you prefer. Thanks! I appreciate any and all help!

Ha! Yeah, I agree on the good travel agent. But for now, I'm it.

Any idea if this new broader set of features will include flight passes? WS needs to step up their game in this regard if they want to truly compete with AC.
