You can sometimes see flights, fares and detailed fare rules that may not be reflected on an airline's website. Please read the thread for some tips and tricks, screen shots, etc.

A related thread, ITA-Matrix-PowerTools - Userscript for Orbitz/DL/UA/AA/BA/CZ/IB/LA/LH/LX/TK, discusses a user script which is maintained by fellow flyertalk members to enhance the already powerful Matrix of ITA Software by providing new features and booking links.

ITA Matrix Advanced Routing Not Working?

Hi,

I'm getting "no flights found" on any advanced routing I specify that involves a specific connection point. Even simply things like:

FROM: SFO
X:BOS
TO: JFK

... Is returning no results. This only started happening once they upgraded the tool to choose airports within more than 300 airports I think.

Anyone else having this problem and/or know what's up?

Same experience for me. All routings return "no flights found".

Update. It seems that you must make sure to check all the option settings. My issue was in the stops setting. ITA defaulted to nonstop flights only. I changed to no limit, and now everything is back to normal.

Further update. Still no good when I list multiple cities in my destination. Nonstops flights only is the default, and all others are grayed out. Since almost every flight for me is through ATL, no flights are found.

I believe Google may have succeeded in ruining a great product.

ITA Matrix Broken /BDL Because I Fly Out Too Much

Hi All,

I cannot get ITA Matrix to show *any* flights on *any* airlines out of BDL. Do you think they took that airport offline b/c I fly out of it too much?

Anyway to fix this?

Michael

Yeah, this sucks. I was super excited when I saw they had options for airports within more than 300 miles but then realized that something broke in the process.

This makes my hidden cities scheming much harder.

I can get flights from any airport than "BDL" -- Are you able to get results out of BDL? I cleared all my stuff tried from another computer and still cannot search out of BDL.

Have you picked the same "sales city" - ITA has it by default as the city of departure. Lufthansa is known to lately have very different prices depending on where are you buying your ticket.

I have pretty much the same problem, but it's with flights out of CHA. This issue is there for me. Since I fly out of a small airport with limited direct flights, I get no flights found when checking several destinations. I believe I need the no limit option selected for this to work properly, but the system keeps it grayed out. It worked before with no issues. Now it won't.

mbwmbw... Do you have the option for no limits on stops or is it grayed out?

Google who bought ITA Matrix some time ago has started limiting the engine greatly, most likely your error is due to some change in the code.

I discovered there is now a 5 airport code search limit. Makes it harder when trying to develop mileage runs.

Oh well...

I discovered that when working on a mileage run there is now a 5 airport code limit to get the no limit on stops to be an option.

Making it harder to do mileage run searches as of now. Hopefully it will revert in the future with enough complaints or comments.

I had problems today with the advanced routing when entering c:ua etc.

Lately I have seen alot of fares which I can't book because there are no seats in that fare class.

It seems to be fixed as of 6/28. I can now do a search with up to 10 destinations, and no limit is now a selectable option.
