Again, city code versus airport code. You want:

From: KHI::/f BA.KHI+YTO.DFFPKOW
To: YYZ

It should work for YY fares:

From: LON::/f yy.lon+bkk.yow
To: BKK

gives me some results.

Having trouble trying to use ITA with free saver ticket search. Looking for a XY or N booking class (per seatcounter) for UA going from ONT or LAX to PVG for 10 nights starting July 19th flexible until July 29th. I have tried the month search and daily to no avail.

You cannot use ITA to search for non-published fares (this includes special pseudo-fares, used in award bookings).

Does the ability to specify the maximum price still exist?

Where can I find a list of CITY codes... versus Airport codes?
I'm trying:
mia::/ f aa.mia+phx.yup
phx::/ f aa.mia+phx.yup

For yup fares Miami to Phoenix.... but it is not working.

Do I need the CITY codes for Miami and Phx?

No, in this case the proiblem is that AA doesn't have any fares called exactly "YUP". Usually their fares are "YUP26D" or some such thing.

If you add a dash to the end of the fare basis code, in your specification, it's a wildcard that matches any ending. So you want:

mia::/f aa.mia+phx.yup-
phx::/ f aa.mia+phx.yup-

When I did that just now, I got lots of answers that were around $1900.

Thx for your response.

.... as in your previous post mentions, that for some cities you do need the CITY CODE vs. the airport code (I believe the reference was to Lon(don) vs. LHR).....

I travel (MR's and business) quite a bit and I'm sure I will come across a need for city vs airport codes.....

So.... Where can I find a list of CITY codes... versus Airport codes?

thx

Again... can anyone answer this?

What is the correct way to specify a transit\via city when using the following search? My attempts at the correct syntax aren't working.

cvg:: / f nw.cvg+sin.VLXSA20
sin:: / f nw.cvg+sin.VLXSA20

Thanks

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do. Hopefully this helps.

Fundamentally, in between the "::" and the "/ f" is where you put the language that restricts the route. After the "/ f" is the language that restricts the fare.

For example:

cvg:: nw msp nw nrt nw sin / f nw.cvg+sin.VLXSA20
sin:: nw nrt nw msp nw / f nw.cvg+sin.VLXSA20

(not many days with "V" availability that I could find)

I just came across this thread and tried to use it but can't seem to get it to work. For example I'm trying to do:

fra :: / f yy.fra+lon.yrt
lon :: / f yy.fra+lon.yrt

But I keep getting a "no trips found" response. Am I typing something incorrectly?

Also, does anyone know whether this method can be used to specify the fare to be used when a trip involves a stop-over? For instance should I be able to use this method to specify that a trip involving OTP-LON and LON-NYC on different dates should use a specific BA fare (say otp+nyc.TLRCEUR)? I'm getting a no trips found error when I try to do this.

try:

XXX:: /f bc=F|bc=C|bc=Y
YYY:: /f bc=A|bc=J|bc=W

that's just an example for different booking codes, you could use just the one you are looking for or multiple. Hope this helps

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that already before but the result I'm getting is a series of one-way fares (xxx-yyy and yyy-zzz) instead of booking both sectors on the through fare basis (xxx-zzz) which the rules incidentally allow. So I was looking to see if I could specify which fare code to use but it doesn't seem to work.

Are you sure YY fare exists, which has a fare basis code YRT, between FRA and LON? "YRT" is not a generic code for all unrestricted full Y fares. (e.g. YR) I am seeing YIFRT fare by using the syntax below, although not sure if this fare fullfill your requirements.

FRA:: / F YY.FRA-LON (or add, ".YIFRT")
LON::

Also, in case, you are looking for LH fllight:
