As I've written for several years now -- and it seems to absolutely no avail -- it is truly sad that a stie that specializes in travel and a form of travel that has three-letter city/airport codes at its heart, not to mention two-letter airline codes, should be able to has a Search Function that permits searching with these key and essential terms.

IF THE NEW OWNERS OF FT ARE LISTENING: PLEASE RECTIFY THIS ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Google search does not have the four character minimum, so there's no need to search for anything except LAX. So what makes the Google search a lame work-around?

Have you read Sticky: Using the Search Feature on FlyerTalk: The Definitive Thread?

Have you tried using the wild card search (LAX* in this case)?
