Hello -- what a great tool. Is there a way to obtain pricing in currencies other than USD?
For example, if I copy and paste an ITA itinerary priced in GBP, BookWithMatrix links me to an itinerary priced in USD.
Thanks!
Edit: Am asking because the cost in GBP from ITA is significantly cheaper than the cost in USD linked by BookWithMatrix, taking currency conversion into account.

Can't believe I just found out about this. Haven't used it to book yet but for the many test itineraries I've done works flawlessly on DL. ^

My itinerary kept jumping in price from what showed on Matrix to what actually was bookable through your tool, I've used it successfully in the past, but recently with no luck.

Good morning 
Fare classes are not taken in account, at least by Flightnetwork. Unfortunately it's the only OTA that shows up in most of cases for me
Example: This trip in D fare should give me 11000 miles with A3. But when I follow the link to Flightnetwork, it books on a cheaper fare (probably P, giving no miles at all).
But apparently this is a known issue, as a warning "for advanced user..." is already displayed on BookWithMatrix.
Please, which OTA could solve my problem?
Thanks!

Also, we're currently trying to figure out if there are itineraries that don't work with this yet. If you find an itinerary that causes the tool to say "The pasted itinerary does not seem to be a valid ITA Matrix itinerary", we'll buy you a drink (or send you $5 if you're not in the SF Bay Area)!

Is there a way to know if an itinerary is 1 ticket instead of 2 separate when the OTA is kiwi.com? I'm doing cta-mla-ist November 3 air malta and TK, with TK being air malta codeshare

Is there any way to use BWM to price out an itinerary with miles? It worked great for a paid itinerary that DL.com would not normally price out (nearly 24 hour layover on an international connection), but I’m trying to buy 1 ticket with money and 1 ticket with miles on this itinerary.
Any ideas?

BookWithMatrix gone, or just down?
I've been trying to run some flight options through Bookwithmatrix (using the website bookwithmatrix.com) since yesterday, but when I go to the website, I get a 504 Gateway Timeout error. Does anybody know if the site/service is dead, or perhaps just temporary computer problems? I use the site a lot to find complicated bookings using Matrix results. I'd hate to see it disappear!

Hello,
I think we all agree bookwithmatrix is a great tool!
Just one remark: Is there a possibility to force the actual booking classes to go through on the booking site? My experience is that if you search by booking class on ita (using the f bc=x parameter) and you then paste the resulting itinerary into bookwithmatrix, the underlying OTA engines, still try to do a "best price" search (within the specified cabin).
So I guess my question (to the bookwithmatrix) author is twofold:
- Is there a way with your existing OTA (I see priceline and flightnetwork being used mostly) to specify the actual booking class in your request?
- Are there any OTA websites that allow this feature (no matter whether they work with bookwithmatrix)?
Many thanks!

I get excellent results with Priceline.
If the fare class is no longer available despite being still shown by ITA, displayed price by Priceline will be zero. In that case, Flight Network gives the actual (updated, more expensive) price.
