This is an interesting quote from the comments

"....For example, it does not understand TQO (new airport in Tulum, MX). I emailed and asked that it be added (should be trivial) and got a response that they would NOT be adding any airports."

Back on 12/12/23 I had emailed them to add TQO. "Chris J." added it for me that day. He emailed me back & said it could take up to 24 hours to show up. Sure enough TQO showed up as an option for airports the next day.

But I have never had any luck getting any results to return for TQO - it just spins forever. I never bothered to get back to them to ask why. Now I wish I had asked back when I might have gotten an answer. :-)

Have also stopped my auto renewal.

It auto renewed for me a couple of months ago, but I may request a proportional chargeback based on it no longer functioning and the company being unresponsive.

Once they star dealing with multiple chargebacks then they will either reply or fold....

Yeah, it's almost certainly an EF problem, not an LHG problem

They have acknowledged the issue on the homepage (finally) – perhaps there is hope that this will be fixed soon.

Thank you, it was my pleasure.

An interesting idea. Appreciate the vote of confidence.

Yeah, I doubt that is happening anytime soon...

That was the joke, since they're both owned by Red Ventures. From what I could find, those who wrote the articles about EF on TPG are no longer with TPG, so there weren't any writers who I could reach out to who actually benefited from it financially.

I know that it was a joke. The joint ownership explains the lack of TPG articles about the issue.

I messaged EF as to why Turkish Airline flights do not appear. No response.

Reportedly TK switched from Sabre to another GDS so they can't get detailed info anymore

TK is separate. They’ve pulled all content from Sabre completely. That’s means fares, availability displays etc.
Amadeus, Galileo, Travelport etc will still display their content, so EF clearly has its feed from Sabre.

EF is using different sources for different content but they have been quite secret on this.
Availability for some airlines (if a single airline is specified) likely goes via Travelport - this can be easily seen by the way availability is presented (ie Y9 BL... with L not being Sabre response except for direct access screens).
Now TK fares still show up as part of a general search, however if TK only is specified no content will return.
However, if you specify TK and another airline (preferably a one that doesn't file fares between the cities you are looking into) you will get the full list of fares.
Moreover, the routing rules will be available and they come from Sabre.
Sabre still shows TK fares because the fares vendor is not TK but ATPCO as i understand.

In any case Im very happy people started to vote with their wallets!
Really sad to see how the tool is degrading...
