Has anyone been able to get this work with the Canadian version of AC.com?
Works great with the US version of AC though.

I have been struggling with using Powertools and Matrix to book AC flights lately. As in, it completely seems broken. I found an itinerary this morning, used Powertools to push it through to the Canadian version of AC.com where it appeared for a second before dropping me to the usual AC search/flight selection page where, of course, the flights I want don't show up.

If you copy the link that it generates and replaced "US" with "CA" (in two places), it will work on the Canadian site.

Yup, I had this happen to me on the weekend. I figured the issue was the promo code I was trying to use, since Google Flights gave me a link that allowed me to book the flights I wanted just fine.

I'm getting this with or without a promo code. Weird.

Can you get CO fares on Google Flights? I've tried but couldn't find any obvious way to get anything else than Standard.

That, I haven't tried. I usually use Matrix to try to get international itineraries in J that the AC website won't show me, for one reason or another.

Only with a fare table and some URL manipulation. I posted about it a while ago, but after adding support for the fare brands to PowerTools, I've just gone that route.

ITA doesn't seem to handle... I'm not sure exactly what it's called. It's like married segments but different. So it will often present unbookable flights if you're doing anything complicated.

Set your default Air Canada country to Canada in PowerTools settings at the top and refresh the page. I'll see why it's not working when you select a non-detault country.

This is great! Thank you. :tu:
I did not know you could change some settings at the top of the page!
I used to do like Adam Smith mentioned up-thread and just changed US to CA in the link.

ITA cannot properly handle Origin-Destination availability and PNR Journey Data (where availability of future segments depends on what is already booked in the PNR)

Yeah that's what I said :p

Huh - I did that and now it seems to work with an itinerary that was crapping out yesterday. Thanks!

Guys, sorry for not knowing and asking here first but it is weekend and AC call line in Europe will be available on Monday. I have long time big need of travel in J on AC and on my desirable dates AC has some nice fare to LAX that I can use. To maximise my mileage earning as I think this will be the only Star Alliance trip this year (still enough to maintain status) I build itinerary in matrix bookable with OTA which I'd like to avoid.

This is not bookable online and I am not sure whether booking on the phone will give more or less same price as on matrix / ota??? My biggest concern is if it must be all AC codeshare to be able to book it on the phone with AC. The way to YYZ can be different, either direct or via FRA/ZRH/BRU but still on AC, the way back would be lovely with YYZ-VIE because I dont think I will feel well to travel further to BCN from my almost home time :)

@747jetter, I've moved your post here since this is a more appropriate venue to discuss trying to book a ticket found through Matrix.

Please have a read through this thread for tips, information on the PowerTools script, as well as caveats (not everything you find on Matrix is actually bookable, whether with AC or anywhere else).

I believe you'll find the information you need here.

Thanks, will read through. It is bookable on OTA but I want to avoid it.

Hey guys, I am looking to book a multi trip through matrix ita and google flights, but when I go to AC after the passenger information step, I get an error Everytime asking to call air Canada reservations. Any comments on why it would be doing that ? I was using the script for ita matrix and thought it was not a valid trip as per the fare rules but I tried going to Google flights on a multi trip and getting the same result. Thanks
