Google Flight Explorer Gone??
Starting yesterday I noticed that Google Flight Explorer was removed and just redirects you to the "normal" Google Flights map. I really liked their Flight Explorer page to find Mileage runs because you could specify that you wanted a trip from a certain airport to different regions and specify the number of days.

Does anybody else have any information on this??

I sure hope this isn't a case of Google removing functional tools just because they feel like it.

Thanks!

It's the same here and everywhere, no announcement, simply gone yesterday morning

I think that's exactly the case, Google doing whatever it wants (removing Google Reader, GF Explorer, etc...)

Not working for me still.

I'd also like to know what address people are getting it to work from.

I used the explore link, but i think it may have just directed me to Google Flights. It was late

Thanks for that link. Based on that, it sounds very promising that it will be back.
