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.

Am I hallucinating or did the calendar date picker used to run from Sunday-to-Saturday? It now starts the week on Monday. (I wasn't originally paying attention and only noticed because the day of week was different than I expected on the search results page 
)

Could it be dependent on your location?
In Europe, the week starts on Monday (which I, as a European, have to say makes a lot more sense to me), whereas in the US for example, it starts on Sunday.
It's quite common to see that difference when you open an airline's booking calendar on a European vs. the US website.

Strange. But I do only see Mon-Sun on my desktop computer, which is running FF60 (even in incognito mode). On smartphone (Opera) or Chromebook it's still Sun-Sat for me.
I wondered if it could be something like that, but I'm US-based, and have not done any Europe-origin searches lately (nor VPNed to Europe) and I've only noticed it in the last day (which is roughly when I got the FF60 update)
EDIT: which doesn't rule out I guess that FF60 somehow makes it appear to ITA that I'm in a different locale.

Back to ITA, I'm still seeing Sunday-Saturday, from the UK on a desktop with nothing special attached to it. I'd personally prefer Monday-Sunday, too.

I tested this quickly (just click "Run"):

Apparently in Portugal and Malta indeed Sunday is the first day of the week.
I still think it's strange to start the week with the second half of the weekend though.

Are we sufficiently off topic?

Not before mentioning that some Muslim countries have had Thursday/Friday weekends, although the ones that have concerned me moved to Friday/Saturday on the basis that it's less disruptive when they have to do business with countries whose weekends are Saturday/Sunday.

Can someone explain to me what's going on with KM 2700 on November 3? I'm getting 2 results for the same flight, one at 930 AM and one at 1050 AM for the same flight, MLA-IST.
