I would like to say that I love the routing rules feature.

I was only able to get it to work for some flights (I only tried UA) and am not sure how up-to-date they are, but it's a pretty cool feature nonetheless, so I hope it stays.

If you've got any examples of fares that dont display routing, please let us know and we'll get someone to investigate.

Some of the fares are missing. For example, if I use SJC as the origin city, it will not pull up fares for LAX, SBA, SNA etc. Did I do something wrong?

Fare listings are great additio
 
As a NWA guy who fies CO when I can, It displays fare codes which allows me to find flights which qualify for 100 EQMs. It really shortens my search time.

Routing and full fare info extremely helpful.

Thanks again FareCompare!

We arbitrarily chose the top 500 fares by PPM to download. I guess we need to make that a bit bigger. I'll get it changed on Monday.

Sniffing my IP address for a starting city ~ and taking a (wrong) FWAGuess ~ is 'helpful'? NOT.

Agreed.

It's also annoying. When I log in from my office comes up with a non-existant airport in NJ.

Like the new look. Thanks for your effort here.

This is much improved. I like the "all departure cities" option.

Now, any chance of getting the cabin (F/C/Y) filter integrated into this newest page? (I certainly appreciate that it's on the page you rolled out prior to this one.)

I liked and used the old version a lot, so I was foolishly nervous when I saw this thread. The new version is excellent - I agree that having the routing rules so easily accessible is wonderful.

Thanks for all of your hard work on this!

too many clicks
 
wish we had the old lists of fares back. I just want to glance and then move on. Don't want to be clicking forever to get to the info I need. Quick and out, please.:(

http://www.farecompare.com/fare-sear...r#Select_Month

for a generic fare search.)

But hey, I can dream :D

For example - choosing LAX and looking for low PPM outside of North America, a $0.04 CPM fare ($823) to Perth (and other Australian cities) - that Virgin Australia QZRTUS fare deal - pops up. Click on the link, however, and you get to a generic search page that shows the lowest fare for the next year as being $1701. (Right hand, meet left hand.)

Great work! Am I missing something on how to get dates other than the month we are in?
