I was shown Expertflyer by a friend who is a member and WOW, was I impressed ^. A few things I dont understand however:

1. I found a great W fare on UA for around $1925 AUD, yet when I go to price the exact dates/itin on UA AUST website, it keeps telling me the W fare is $2121 (base fare) with taxes = $ 2242 . I understand your fares are base fares, but that is quite a large difference with UA site only showing fees/taxes at about $123.

2. How do I book the fares I find on EF, given that UA.bomb is not playing nice and charging almost $350 more?

3. I generally like to fly SYD-LAX and then fly home via LAX-SFO-SYD (more miles ). I couldnt find a way to price this on EF. It would not give me direct one way and the connection on the return leg only. When I check the connections button, it will still route me home via LAX direct if that is the city I arrived in.

I really love EF, the seat maps are fantastic, so is the Award inventory screens, so please if you have a discount coupon for new members, I would love to know about it.

Many thanks .
