Problems Bookng a Fare
I pulled this fare up on ITA Matrix:
Boston (BOS) to Montreal (YUL) — Sat, Mar 3
Boston (BOS) to Toronto (YYZ) — Sat, Mar 3Air Canada 7619Dep: 10:25 amArr: 12:16 pm1h 51mEmbraer RJ-175Economy (A)OPERATED BY AIR CANADA EXPRESS - SKY REGIONALLayover in YYZ1h 44m
Toronto (YYZ) to Montreal (YUL) — Sat, Mar 3Air Canada 414Dep: 2:00 pmArr: 3:13 pm1h 13mAirbus A320Economy (A)How to buy this ticketTickets cannot be purchased directly from ITA Software.
However, when I try to book this on the AirCanada website, I get a price of $188 (it says USD). Even when I try doing it as multi-leg. Is this a problem with ITA Matrix, or am IO doing something wrong?

I would have thought that the "Only show flights and prices with available seats" box would have done this. But I have the same problem.
If I use https://bookwithmatrix.com/ then I can use Priceline to find direct flights BOS-YUL around your price though for that day.

Trying to book through united I was getting in the $200 plus range.
I did end up booking a direct flight. I just wanted something better than a CRJ or CR900. But it's a short flight, so I will survive, I think.
