From my exprience I'm nearly 100% sure that the problem is married segment.

I understand systems going out of date - its something we can't avoid - but the old interface has some big advantages - its compact, everything is there. The new interface - well I simply could not even input a return date! Only the number of days- this is not useful When I am traveling to africa for example, its hit an miss when you use number of days as the out and return trips go over mulltple days! anyway, I just like the old system a lot better.

Do you by chance have "See calendar of lower fares" selected? That shows Start Date and Duration fields, just like the old interface. If "Search exact date" is selected, then outbound and return dates (for roundtrip flights) can be entered. At least that's how it is for me.

I agree with you though on liking the compactness and organization of the old interface better.

Is there an option to filter out “preferred cabin not available” flights already in the search interface?
It’s a bit frustrating to see lots of availability in the calendar and when you click on a date, for every itinerary, half of the flights are in premium economy instead of business class etc.
I can of course filter them out later, but I’d prefer them to be filtered out already in the calendar view…

I've used -CABIN 3 in the Extension Codes field on both the outbound and return to eliminate economy legs on more complex routings. If you look at the help for the Extension Codes it talks about using Premium Economy as the CABIN selector, but I personally have never used it.

Thank you, that’s a good idea! I’m searching for a flight between Europe and the US, so it’s a mix of international business class and domestic first class. But I guess I could simply exclude both premium economy and economy. Will give that a try.

ITA Hacker there is still a really bizarre UI bug in the new interface, which I am pretty sure I reported via the feedback link, but posting about it again here on FT to boost the signal since it has been at least a few months.

Steps to reproduce, starting from a clean slate:

1. enter origin/dest airports
2. pick dates
3. click to Add Advanced Controls
4. enter something in all 4 text boxes for routing codes and extended codes for both outbound and return (it doesn't seem to matter what you enter here)
5. change departure spec from "This Day Only" to "+/- 1 day"
6. change return spec from "This Day Only" to "+/- 1 day"

As soon as you mouse-up from clicking on "+/- 1 day" the advanced controls box disappears! If you click on Add Advanced Controls the previously entered routing/extended code have been cleared.

You can also do these steps in the order 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 4. As soon as you enter something into the return flight extended codes box, the Advanced Controls disppear again.

The net effect is that you can not do a +/- day search with extended codes. It does not seem to matter whether you use the mouse/click or use tab to shift focus and enter to select the menu items. I've turned off things like UBO and the userscript and can still reproduce so pretty sure those are unrelated.

when clicking on the link in Chrome on the matrix final results page which is howing the price for me itinary, I get the message BookWithMatrix can only work with the final results pages. Click on the price to view the final "Itinerary details" page before using it!what did I do wrong? it used to work in the past and I think Im on the right page

Is there anyway to specify flights which are only open in a minimum RBD? E.g., to only show flights which are H class or above, but not lower RBDs because they are already closed for sale.

ChocolateFactory

You’d have to explicitly include or exclude booking classes.

hugolover

Does that option negate flights where the RBDs are sold out?

ChocolateFactory

There’s a checkbox at the bottom, “only show flights with availability”. That will exclude RBDs that are sold out.

hugolover

I believe the command is F ~bc=Q&~bc=V etc
However its returning flights where the RBD is not sold out, its just giving me a fare with the included RBD's whether it's sold out or not
I specifically want it to return flights which are only available in a minimum of H

Calchas

Note that the bc syntax sets the prime booking code of the fare covering the flight, not the actual bucket that the fare books on a particular flight. For instance, a BA F- fare will be selected with bc=F, and will usually book F, but it may book into Y if an aircraft does not offer any of F, A, J, C, D, R, I.
