availability discrepancy between itamatrix and expertflyer
I have quoted several OTP to PHX itineraries on ITA matrix and is gives fare with JFK-LAX in I class. When I check Expertflyer it says NO I on the JFK -LAX flights. How do you get ITA Matrix to pull live availability?

I'm not sure what is the right term but sometimes when you check a direct JFK-LAX will show different availability then purchasing that as part of other segments.
I think experflyer is not capable to show availability on complex routing.

Could this be a married segment thing? If you're checking JUST the JFK-LAX leg in isolation on EF, I0 maybe correct, but there may be I availability on those legs when joined with other legs in a longer itinerary.
