For the benefit of others: my booking, made at amadeus.com using a link to AA (Europe) in the Matrix PowerTools, did not ticket. I understand from a PM that chx1975's booking was also never ticketed. I've updated the AA forum thread linked to above.

I am trying to mix/match cities and carriers using ita to see if I can get a price on an upcoming flight, and i'm getting zero results.

NYC -> MNL

I would prefer BR 31 on May 15. If all else fails I can do NH, but the timing of BR31 is preferred.

MNL -> WAS

I would prefer to route the return through NRT on NH or UA on/around May 24, but i'm also open to going through HKG or ICN.

ITA isn't returning any results. What am I doing wrong? Searching for business class if that matters. I'm open to other carriers/routing, but would like to keep it on star alliance (i'm ok with a short leg not being on star alliance - for example if I have to go from mnl-hkg on Cathay). I eventually want to ticket this on 016 ticket stock.

If i'm inquiring for help in the wrong thread I apologize. Please let me know where I should have posted this.

Hi, I have come across following results, which dont make sense (screenshots attached):

1) I've ran a search on a business flight from London to Singapore (parameters in first screenshot)

2) Search yielded in price matrix, I clicked on first fare on 8th May (£3,030), which I would expect to be the best deal for that day ("cheapest")

3) In the next view (after clicking £3,030 in previous matrix), I can see the cheapest to be £2,131)

Can somebody please explain why prices are different in steps 2) and 3)?
Anything to do with my settings/selection in step 1)?

Thanks,
Peter

You are looking into a rather large search space (all one world airlines, with a ton of connection options, 30 days). ITA does take shortcuts to give you results quicker (e.g. only search through x fare classes of airlines operating from your origin).

The further you drill down and the more constraints you apply the better your results will be....Its a bit of science really

Thank you. I am trying something similar, but gave this a shot. The BR flights do not show up out of JFK.

I am having difficulty getting ITA to search for Premium Economy (A) inventory on Air France for flights from US/Canada with ongoing connections from Paris to European cities. It only gives me a PE flight about 20% of the time, and then instead of just giving me the warning message about "this is a lower class of service" for the connection, it forces everything into Business Class instead.

Is this a new "feature" or something odd with how it's handling AF?

I make no apologies for getting around

It looks like there's a combinability issue if you restrict the inbound half in that way, plus ITA may have given up before getting to the BR combinations.

You should get results if you try something like this:-Or this:-

I removed all the extraneous details from the routing codes and simply put in the connecting points and saw the BR flights from JFK.

So the outbound looks like

NYC
tpe
MNL

And the return looks like

MNL
icn,nrt,hkg
WAS

It won't restrict to specific airlines so you have to ignore the CI, JL, etc flights

I've been looking for availability for LIS-LHR r/t flights, but the prices shown are not bookable anywhere - be it with TP's nonstops, be it with LH, LX, AF, KL, or A3. For the dates of 14-17 Aug, eg, prices start at €117 for TP, whereas the cheapest bookable option is €284. Any tips? Thanks!

have you tried https://bookwithmatrix.com/

? It's what I usually use if google flights doesn't work out with what I can find on ITA. you just ctrl-a, ctrl-v the flight you want and it tries to build it on flightnetwork/priceline etc.

I have indeed – it shows even more expensive prices than in the airlines' websites...

I was checking some flights tonight and did a refresh and was surprised to see what appears to be a new feature; Outbound/Return Extension Codes.

Instead of having to list all codes in a single field, we can now split them up.

For those that are more intimately familiar with ITA, are there any new codes or have they just split the fields?

Kinda nifty, nonetheless

I saw it too - tried one of the extension codes (+CODESHARES) but got an error message.
