For instance, I recently priced out an itinerary for international travel on *A partners that included only a single UAX segment (everything else was NH and AC J). I was able to issue it no problem on UA.com, but no way no how could I get it through a search of the UA website.
I am pretty proficient on Matrix, but have only played around with Google Flights a little bit, mainly because I cannot find a calendar function like Matrix has. Does it have one and I'm just missing it? When I'm looking for MR's, because I have a flexible schedule, I use the calendar function a lot. Also, how about a multi-city search.
Matrix has been so on-again, off-again lately that I'd like to find an alternative. Thanks!
