Help wanted with Travelocity voodoo

Hi all

The fabulous US$345 CNS- LAX fare posted at Travelocity has inspired me to try and use Travelocity better.

At present I have been playing with the Dream Maps feature and am suitably impressed. Also for some time I have had the farewatcher feature enabled. It's quite good.

But I want more. At present my farewatcher is set up to watch

mel-par
mel-lon
syd-par
syd-lon
mel-noumea

What I'd like to do is be able to input a 3 letter code eg mel - xxx where xxx stands for all cities in europe and then farewatcher would watch out for the cheapest fares to all european destinations.

Alternatively I'd like to put in xxx - par where xxx stands for all Australian cities and keep an eye on the cheapest Australian fare to Paris.

This would enable me to use farewatcher to cover a greater variety of city pairs.

Is this possible? Are there any other tricks which would enable me to get greater coverage of cities so that I could be kept aware of as many bargains as possible between to given continents eg Australia - Europe.

The reason for this is that I'm hanging out for an ultra cheap airfare to Europe at present. With the olypics it just might happen but if I can monitor as many fares as possible using Travelocity I stand a better chance of being able to book if a cheap fare does come up.

Alternatively are there other fare engines that are as cheap that have similar monitoring features?

Thanks

cheers Peter
