No, EF basically only shows you published fares, and these are readily available through many channels, including directly from the airline. There's nothing secret or hidden about them. EF's great strength is that it gives you real-time information about airline inventory, so you can see whether what you would like to book is actually available at the moment, or see why what you want isn't currently bookable.

EF also has a wealth of other relevant real-time information like schedules, and the alert functions allow you to ask to be told when things change so that you can plan your trip differently. There's also seating information, of course
