- Improved Fare Rules/Routing Rules for most fares, with the routing rules now including Ticketed Point Deduction information where applicable
- The ability to search for all fares regardless of travel dates in addition to existing validation options.
* These are ExpertFlyer exclusive features
Here is a screen shot of the new search form:

A few notes about using this new features:
- The new Ticketing Date and Show All Fares options, as well as the previously available Class Code and Fare Basis Code fields can be seen by clicking the Show Advanced Options button (this preference setting is remembered).
- Some searches may use an information source that doesn't include fuel surcharges in the price of the fare. If that's the case, it will be noted at the top of the results page.
- When using the option to show fares for all travel dates, for fares that have multiple seasonality date ranges, only the first date range will be shown in the list of fares. View the Seasonality category of the Fare Rules to see the rest. (This is a GDS bug that we've asked them to fix.)
We hope that these improvements make ExpertFlyer even more useful. If you come across any issues, please email us at
