I'm pretty sure whatever data sources AwardNexus uses only allow searching single city pairs at a time, but they've built an entire system around allowing you to construct super-complex queries, doing all the legwork for you, and displaying the result in a nice, easy-to-read format. EF could very well do the same if you wanted.
I guess they're trying to keep costs down (guessing they have some sort of quotas). Definitely something they could do. It's a bit disappointing there's not much happening on the product. Looks pretty similar to 4 years ago and still lots of little improvements like this that would help!
