KLM, United, Lufthansa, British Airways, etc, etc.

What's the go?

You don't need to add "-". You are actually trying to exclude BD flights.

LON::/ airlines BD
FRA::/ airlines BD

However, this syntax makes sense if you want to restrict two or more airlines on the route.

LON:: BD
FRA:: BD

is simpler and need less keystrokes.

Please Help
 
At one point in time, I had a one-line "script" that would allow me to specify the airline and class of service that I wanted, which was great if you needed a specific fare for bonuses (ie: Last winter AA had a huge bonus, but only for specific fares).

Does anyone know what I am talking about and, if so, can you provide it for me.

Many thanks

I know I can use the -redeye function to specify no redeyes, but how do I specify if I do want them?

I found another nice function just by guessing: -codeshare ^

In the date line(s), change the "anytime" box to "night (9pm-3am)" or "10pm-2am" departures.

That option is not available for multi-day searches.

once again a great post. ita gets more useful every day. and now i know how to avoid those helicopter segments :D

You're right, that SFO-BOS redeye on the whirlybird is a real pain. Especially with the four stops along the way to refuel.

;)

Constraining booking codes
 
It looks like the '/f bc=Y' constrains by primary booking code of a fare rather than by actual RBD. So it is useless for interline and IATA fares where RBD chart 2 is to be checked.

But the good news is that things like this are combinable in one query: 'XXX:: /f bc=b, f ..yif-'

It's not that clear now...

How would you use the -codeshare in a routing search?
xxx::dl- ?

SmilingBoy Nov 20, 2009 3:14 pm

BRU :: SN / -codeshare
FRA :: SN / -codeshare
