I didn't find this specific command for excluding UA Basic Economy fares, so thought I'd add it for people searching.

Add this to exclude all N Basic Economy fares from UA search results:

F ~BC=N

Experimentally, it seems that putting something in the Advanced Controls fields fixes the problem. I tried 'N' - nonstop flight on any carrier and 'X' - one or more flights - and the results looked very good.

I didn't make a project out of it to say the results became 'perfect' but the new list was dramatically more inclusive.

Hi,
I've just noticed on Matrix that you can tick a box for over 62 yrs old. Is there a different price for older people?
Does it matter if you have not ticked this if you are over 62?

Not that I am over 62!!

These days, very rarely.

But the technical infrastructure is there so an airline can apply different fares for seniors if it wishes, similar to infants (under 2) with and without a seat, children (under 12), unaccompanied children, youths, et c.

Some airlines have different fare rules for different passenger types. For instance, AF offers a Seniors Fare for Martinique residents over 60 years old. http://www.airfrance.com/MQ/fr/local..._airfrance.htm (site is only available in French)
It's basically the same fare as anyone else but there is no change fee, no minimum stay, and the ticket is refundable for a 90€ fee.

Can I search on ITA one way biz return coach?

TTT

You can using the +cabin code in the advanced controls. Setup your search like this:


Cabin 1 is First
Cabin 2 is Business
Cabin 3 is Economy

Results should allow something like this:

bbwm515

the internary is
HND, NRT - MIA, FLL, PBI, EYW, MLB, SRQ, MCO
31 Dec - 4 Jan

DELTA only flights, any number stops

I need to set up class code B or M for longhaul one only first leg between TYO and first connecting city (i suppose it will be MSP, SEA, LAX, ATL, DTW).

but the thing is if i set F bc=b|bc=m - the rest leg/legs till Florida also shows only as B/M. is there any possibility to generate M and for examble T etc in one farebasis for TYO-Florida interval?

BTW way back is desired to be any cheap domestic class + K only for any Hub-TYO leg.

sorry for my english^_^

Do you have a reasonable idea of what fares you want to use to construct this itinerary? Is it a through-fare or are you planning to end-on-end several fares?

The f bc=X syntax restricts the prime code of the fare in use, it doesn't necessarily set the booking code for the legs covered. If you want a T- fare, you need to use f bc=t.

Globaliser

Try this:-

HND, NRT::f /f bc=b
MSP, SEA, LAX, ATL, DTW

MSP, SEA, LAX, ATL, DTW::f /bc=m
MIA, FLL, PBI, EYW, MLB, SRQ, MCO

MIA, FLL, PBI, EYW, MLB, SRQ, MCO::f
MSP, SEA, LAX, ATL, DTW

MSP, SEA, LAX, ATL, DTW::f /bc=k
HND, NRT

Then uncheck the box for "Allow airport changes" before searching.

However, you need to be aware that this will restrict you to flying sector 3 from the same airport as that at which you arrived at the end of sector 2 - in other words, if you arrive at FLL on the outbound, then using this method ITA will only return inbound trips starting at FLL. So you may need to play a bit with combinations before narrowing down your search a bit more, if that is important to you.

In addition, you need to be aware that (on a quick play) it looks like this will price using four different fare components, for example BLZ0ZKMD for TYO-ATL, MA0NA0MA for ATL-FLL, UD7NA0MB for FLL-ATL and KKY02KMD for ATL-TYO. But if I have read the fare construction correctly, this example does correctly register that ATL is a connecting point in both directions.

But at least it might be a start for your research, if this is beginning to show the sort of thing you are looking for.

PM'ed you a link.

Next time, get this plugin: ITA-Matrix-PowerTools - Userscript for Orbitz/DL/UA/AA/BA/CZ/IB/LA/LH/LX/TK

Did someone notice the new uber cool option of specifiying the ticketing carrier:

TICKETING-CARRIER codeTICKETING-CARRIER AASpecify ticketing carrier
The only problem is that it didn't work, even though I tried many different routes

If the official ITA rep is looking into this thread, we would be happy to have this feature fixed. The only missing link would be to probably search for BFs. If matrix can do that, I am sure 1000s of the users on the special savings lounge will be very very happy

ITA Hacker has always been very informative when I've spoken to him.

I'm stumped by fare rules on an itinerary I am trying to book.



I want to make a longer stopover in LHR, like a few days, but doing so reprices the second leg much higher even though the fare buckets stay the same. I compared the fare rules side-by-side between the two and I couldn't find a single difference.

This is what it says about stopovers:

2 STOPOVERS PERMITTED ON THE PRICING UNIT
LIMITED TO 1 FREE AND 1 AT USD 50.00.
AND - 1 STOPOVER PERMITTED ON THE PRICING UNIT AT
USD 75.00.

Does anyone know what fare rules might be preventing me from inserting a stopover? Does the open jaw mess up the construction?
