Expertflyer fare question
 
Hi all,

I was practicing my MR building skills and after looking up a random fare between NYC and SAN I found expertflyer showing the following for an unrestricted (non-filtered) search for all fares between NYC and SAN.

NA14SQPN AA Round-Trip 298.00 (USD) 12/12/07 14
NR14SQPN AA Round-Trip 298.00 (USD) 12/12/07 14
NA14PN AA Round-Trip 318.00 (USD) 14
SA7PN AA Round-Trip 358.00 (USD) 07
GA7PN AA Round-Trip 418.00 (USD) 07
VA7PN AA Round-Trip 478.00 (USD) 07
VA3PN AA Round-Trip 538.00 (USD) 03
WA3PN AA Round-Trip 598.00 (USD) 03
WA0PN AA Round-Trip 698.00 (USD)
MA0PN AA Round-Trip 798.00 (USD)
KA0PN AA Round-Trip 898.00 (USD)
KUPP7ZN AA Round-Trip 1074.00 (USD) 07
H26Z AA Round-Trip 1464.00 (USD)
KUPPMZ AA Round-Trip 1524.00 (USD)
Y26 AA Round-Trip 1724.00 (USD)
YUPMZ AA Round-Trip 1824.00 (USD)
F26 AA Round-Trip 2524.00 (USD)
J26 AA Round-Trip 2524.00 (USD)
Y AA Round-Trip 3154.00 (USD)
J AA Round-Trip 4124.00 (USD)
F263 AA Round-Trip 4918.00 (USD)
F AA Round-Trip 5156.00 (USD)

As you can see, the lowest fare there is the N fare for $298

When I did the search in ITA for this, I got a good routing that has a different fare code: QR14SQPN

When I type that into the code box in EF, nothing comes up. What gives? why doesn't this Q fare load up in EF but shows in ITA and AA?

Quick edit: I also tried searching for any fare in Q class code and nothing came up in EF.

Thanks in advance for your help.

EWR is not, technically, a part of the NYC city code, so there is a separate set of AA fares:

Thanks for your help, this makes sense. The odd thing is that the ticket I priced was actually from LGA, so it looks like it may be allowing co-terminals departures from LGA at least.

It appears that ITA is erroneously pricing your NYC flights using EWR fares.
