Kayak.com explore menu and month flex
 
I think kayak.com might be on to something and will really help us find mile runs! I wrote about it in my blog today

When Double-Wides Fly: Kayak.com Adding New Features http://www.whendoublewidesfly.com/20....html?spref=tw

But real point is they added a flexible month search AND an explorer tool. It's like what buzz use to be but better!!!

The Holy Grail would be a cpm-sorter incorporated into the Explorer map.

The explore tool doesn't highlight all cities and only displays results found by others. Nothing compared to ITA

I guess it's nice if you like to look at a map

ITA is no longer accurate either.

yes only shows fares found by others. It's like the old kayak.com/buzz which is no longer active. But good searching tool none the less!

Kayak Buzz was decent but you're right only showed other people's searches. We need the farecompare.com/flyertalk tool back

Ditto this.
Miss the farecompare.com/flyertalk tool. Is it ever coming back? What happened to it?

skyscanner.com is another option, although it does not have the bells and whistles like farecompare.

I would pay for this!

In Warsaw, Kayak Buzz was working today under United Kingdom and GBP currency. Once I changed it to USA, it took me to the Explore webpage and nowhere was the Buzz. Under UK, I was able to use Buzz with USA airports and the prices were in Pounds. Must be restricted by pressure from US airlines?

Getaway Maps Still Active for International
 
http://www.farecompare.com/maps/

Pretty robust upgrade from previous version, maybe they want FT-ers to migrate here.

Still... not a sortable spreadsheet though.

This is a nice visual concept, however some of the bells and whistles don't work. If you choose an aline to narrow it down, it still shows every other ones.
