Yahoo Best Fares Search ?
Have Yahoo done away with this feature ?
I had stored the url as a favourite link, but
I just tried to use it, and it came back with "no results matched your query."
Haven't used it for a few weeks, and haven't seen any mention of anything on here...

Oh no!!!
I have this bookmarked, as well. Just tried it with the same results -- it doesn't work.
I sure hope that this is temporary.
I snagged the link from somewhere here on FT, but was never able to find the link (or anything similar) while navigating through Yahoo.
Might anyone have another way to find this search?

Just checked, and the service is working again for me.
The link is http://search.travel.yahoo.com/searc...xt_arrcode=LHR
Change the last three characters of the url to point to your desired airport code.
Edited to add link.

Thanks, but the link credit isn't mine.
As I said, I snagged the url here on FT, and I'm still looking for the original post.
Also still looking for anyone that knows how to navigate directly to the choices page through Yahoo.

How do you set the search to look up "ALL" cities to a particular destination? I like this feature. It is kind of a backwards DreamMap.
On another note: I used the link above and changed the URL to read LGW rather than LHR. It pulled up a fare of $213 USD EWR to LGW on NWA. I purchased it quickly ($302 inclusive). Was that luck or does Yahoo have access to fares travelocity does not?
The fare seems to be gone but I must note that I could not replicate it on the regular Travelocity site (even though it still came up on Yahoo).
Oh well - I am happy. Thanks for the link.
