is also very helpful. it provides a starting point for the nonstops from a given airport on a given airline. clicking on one of the nonstop (e.g. Los Angeles) then expands out to the page that rosj first posted.

Nice tool.
How about a way to filter for an airline (or group of airlines such as *A) vs. industry? Given I am a UA mileage slave, I am most interested in UA pricing and want to make sure that their pricing is competetive. At the moment, you have to drill in to a specific week to figure it out. It could be done as a second line of pricing with the airline/group to the left of the prices for each month.
Again, nice tool. I look forward to using it more.
cheers,
eric

Welcome back Rosj. Farecompare has given us a few hours jump on fares lately and some great historical fares.
It is such ashamed that we all have to contend with the surcharge fraud. I have no problem paying whatever the price is, but I don't like the airline deception that makes comparisons impossible.

Yes
I should be more clear, but I meant those fares not touching NorthAmerica.
ATPCO (Airline Tariff Publishing Company, the raw air fare clearing house) breaks feeds up in to 3 categories US/CA to/from itself, touching US/CA both directions and the rest (we don't subscribe to the rest yet, but it is in the plans).

I was wondering if there is an updated version of:
http://www.farecompare.com/search/fl...?departure=NYC
It was my favorite tool for airfare comparison and now that Farecompare has been updated, I get the 'page not found' error message
I was able to sort it by destination, distance, airlines, etc...
I did my first ever MR in January because of AA's FLY06, and looking to complete the 10k by mid-Apr (plat challenge). This tool would would've been perfect but doesn't work anymore

I tried to put AMS (I'm based in The Netherlands, for those who might wonder why I put AMS) at the end of the URL, and it works!
The only problem is that when I choose an option (e.g. PPM < 0.05, or sort, or change carrier) then the message "Either no fares were found or all fares were filtered" appears.
Could this be fixed?
Something which I would really appreciate (I like doing a lot of statistical analysis) is an exportable (may be .CSV) version of the results available as a link somewhere, or, even better, downloadable with something like:

Perhaps there are no fares with PPM < 0.05 out of AMS. If there are too many filters chances are you will find less options to choose from. [/QUOTE]
When I don't apply any filter, fares appear with various PPMs, some also with e.g. PPM<0.05.
However, the problem is that when applying any filter, no results are given.

Greetings Folks,
Sorry for my long absence, been trying to get a little startup off the ground the past few months. Things are finally stable so I'll get more time help out here.
We just posted a new "tool" that might be of interest to those who want to see the flights and fares for a market (right now anything touching the US/CA).
You can find it at the bottom of the FareCompare Home Page (you'll have to traverse to your market) or you can use the following style of url, you can make the subsitutions for your favorite airport codes, I'll leave that as an exercise to the user:
http://www.farecompare.com/flights/C.../schedule.html
This page is airport centric and requires airport codes and airline code in upper case, the flight schedules are cut off at max number you can get the full ones at http://flights.farecompare.com.
You can also view the city based market page which has similar information for all airlines but uses city codes (99% the same as airport), it has the lowest 20 or so fares for ow and rt for each airline:
http://www.farecompare.com/flights/B...NL/market.html
You'll note on this page the very nice fare, in our new historical alerts display at the top as well that was highlighted recently.
These tools have the fare code which might be of use to some.
Give it a whirl if you like and let me know what you think, its a work in progress.

Great tool, I love the site in general, but I wish it was a bit easier to navigate to all the various tools you guys offer. As an occasional user, I find myself spending way too long trying to remember how to access this feature or that feature. Could you guys add some kind of "tools" page with direct links to things like the Flyertalk tool?
(Also making the URLs case insensitive would be great too.)
