ITA iPhone App
Didn't see this posted elsewhere.

ITA released an iPhone app yesterday which allows you to search for flights using our favorite mileage run tool. It's a free download, and I highly suggest anyone to check it out. I've played with it a bit and so far I'm quite impressed. Thoughts?

Press release: http://itasoftware.com/pdf/25.7.10%2...20OnTheFly.pdf
App Store link: http://itunes.apple.com/app/onthefly/id382818039?mt=8

yet another reason why I love both ITA and my iPhone. I would like to see an iPad version.

Great app! Many options, depth of search, and fast. Better than the Kayak iPhone app - except Kayak has the month-search.

Oh man! I was just thinking yesterday how useful this would be.

Why did they have to make it an iPhone app though? I wish they would have made it just a mobile website (possibly with HTML5). I can't look at the app since I don't have an iPhone, but I'm not sure what part of their site would require an app and not be just as functional with a well designed mobile website.

ITA: I know you are reading this

Buggy: shows V and K class bookings on intra-Europe Swiss (LX) as business class whereas they are coach. The website does not make the mistake.

Yeah, but it's not optimized for iPad... Sticking with the web version for now.

The app is awesome although I wished it understood "ITA routing language" so you specify particular airlines, cities, etc.

otherwise, ^^^^^
