Glad you were able to experience this advantage of the Tool .

Regretfully, I will not be able to introduce any kind of a "batch" query process into the Tool, as doing so may jeopardize its continued existence...

Then on the second set of fields for flight #2, SLC-SFO is UAL, and I would like to again enter the exact flight # and tell it to search Apollo ITN.
However, based on the above scenario, I would suggest the following:

As a Platinum level member, you can run multiple instances of the Tool (on the same computer), and utilize the Filtering options. Therefore, you could:
  • Start 2 instances of the Tool
  • In the the 1st instance of the Tool, select Worldspan, enter TUL/SLC/DL, activate "Exclude Codeshare Flights" & "Non-Stop Direct Flights Only" filters
  • In the the 2nd instance of the Tool, select Apollo, enter SLC/SFO/UA, activate "Exclude Codeshare Flights" & "Non-Stop Direct Flights Only" filters
