To respond to your question, I don't know if you are wasting your time on the airline websites. I don't use either airline discount codes or leave a destination open when using Google Flights. Did you try systematically using the discount codes for a dummy booking on Google Flights and seeing if it worked? I may be misreading your question, but it sounds as though you haven't tried for yourself yet. Perhaps you could give a few examples of what is and isn't working for you, and the collective wisdom of posters might be able to get some very specific advise.
Thanks for your reply. I'm not having a problem with GF, just trying to figure out how deep their search goes. I'll try to state my question better.
I received and email from Frontier advertising a "today only" sale -"Save 99% one way" on specific days and destinations. The email provides a promo code "SAVE99" to use when booking the flight on Frontiers website. Obviously these discounted flights will be very cheap. My problem is that the discount only applies to specific days and destinations that are not revealed. You would have to search for random flights on Frontier until you thought you found the cheap flights.
My question - Is GF aware of these promotions? Does GF incorporate promo codes like this when searching? It would be extremely useful if it did. Since the airline sites don't have a map search it is hard to find the cheap destinations. Thats why I use GF, SkyScanner, etc. Should I be investing hours of searching on the Frontier website when these sales are offered? Or is GF doing it for me?
Or is there a place to input airline promo codes in GF?
