Was that the same as Travelocity'c "Fare Listings" feature?
Under "Travel Tools" towards the bottom of the home page.

No, the beauty of Expedia was that it didn't require to select a date, so you could see all avaliable fares between two cities.</font>

Is there a tool that only requires just entering the destination city, and will list all airfares going to that city?
I thought that it was in Expedia but cannot seem to find it after seeing it accidentally following an explicitly URL. If I recall correctly, the originally city field is displayed, except that it is grayed out. The listing shows the lowest fare from each city, and clicking on the fare then shows another page that lists the actual airlines that have those fares.

This is what I use. It's limited by the fact that it only recognizes popular int'l destinations and pretty much all US ones. Just modify the airport code at the end of the url. Got it from someone on here.

Thanks izzik for posting that link. I forgot it existing and have found it useful in the past.
Also, pardon my ignorance, but I'm not a regular Expedia user. I mostly use Travelocity to find cheap fares. What is the difference between the Fare List and Fare Calendar searches? They seem to yield the same results in the same format.
Thanks!

Thanks izzik. I thought the URL I used was Expedia, but this one works just as well. This is a great tool to piece together a custom-made itinerary.

Well, I have tried all combos to get into expedia and I keep getting the "browser not suppported" message.. So weird as I have never had a problem before. I did have the Airfares page bookmarked as a direct link, too. When I go to the expedia homepage and click on flights, cars, search, etc. eevrything comes up "browser not sup[ported"> Hmph. Thanks for all the travelocity stuff... that looks good, but I still wish I could get expedia back!

One significant advantage of the Expedia Fare Listing feature was the inclusion of routing information (when space permitted) at the bottom of the fare rules. The Travelocity feature doesn't seem to include routings (maybe a function of the Sabre display vs. Worldspan?).
Does anyone know of any other place to access fare listings generally, and routing information specifically? Thanks.

OK!
I hjave now downloaded Explorer from the net.
I am able to get into all pages of expedia with no problem, now. The Fares Compare looks beautiful.
However, when I clicked on the "price this fare" or whatever the next link would be - can't rememebr now - it took me BACK to the starting Fares Compare page. I will probably figure this out. Has anyone gone PAST the list of airports/prices yet and tried to price out an itinerary? I would normally do this on the airlines' homepage for myself but for friends I follow Expedia all the way through.

The "new and improved" Fare Compare is amazing.. it displays a very large list of airports.
Plus, you can display by price.
Makes for interesting reading on a Sunday.</font>

I sent customer service an email about the feature disappearing and received this reply.
So send in your feature request!

Unfortunately, with the upgrade we have removed: Fare Compare, Fare Calendar,
Airline Fare List and Flight Price Matcher. There is a possibility that these
options will be reinstated in the future.

I agree, it's a bit strange that nothing came up when putting in ICN.
However, SEL is not an old code, it's the code for any airport in Seoul (ICN, GMP) - you can find that quite often, e.g. Toronto is YTO and includes the airports YYZ and YTZ.
