How can I book Delta flights by fare class online?
Before the recent revamp of Delta's website, one could search for tickets by fare class (Y, etc). That functionality seems to be gone now. Is there still a way to search for and book tickets by fare class?

Welcome to FT!
ITA Matrix, the Matrix powertools/userscript, and this workaround as necessary:
There's a workaround.
This is an example of the link provided by ITA PowerTools / Book with ITA:
Simply append this to the end of that link: &ftw_reroute=true
... and voila:

Call DL. A phone agent should be able to put together a ticket using the fare classes and segments you specify, assuming that there's fare class availability and the ticket satisfies any fare rule restrictions.

Just remove the “-2” from the URL and you’ll get the old booking engine that lets you search by fare class.

Any idea why Delta has taken away the ability to search by fare class (as a default option on the Advanced page)?

It is not working for me - I just get the choice of cabin or fare type again - no fare class option. Did they "fix" this?

The URL link above still has the "-2" in it (which you have to manually remove). Here's the URL without the "-2"

It's working for me currently:

It seems the DL site may try to redirect your browser when you load that URL, but after it loads, go in and remove the "-2" and refresh it.
