YUP/Instant Upgrade Fare tool gone?
I have been using your YUP comparison tool for some time.
http://www.farecompare.com/search/yupfares.html?departure=<xxx>
Today I find it is no longer working.
I hope this is a temporary problem?

Hope there really is a new version coming soon... or at least that the old one isn't going away. Too good of a tool to lose...

Over the years, Farecompare has evolved from a site with promise to a site that just sends ads to you instead of the airfare alerts signed up for. The flyertalk page was the last bit of useful info on the site...and it looks to be gone.

Hope it does come soon
that the old CPM page is down (was rather useful at times- including up to this week)

Ditto. Can't belive this very useful tool is gone (FareCompare). I use to go to this page everyday to check for deals! I'm bummed.

May be it's just down for a while. It's a very good tool to know what could be the lowest fares in a particular market. You can also use kayak.com/buzz or/explore, but they only give fares based on what other people found.

Isn't this the company whose management went on record in support of the TSA? Either way, industry/firm apologist and TSA apologist aren't always that far apart when it comes to matters of air travel.
I'm disappointed to see it go even if it is just for a holiday.

Timing?
Doing a revamp of the website and taking it offline in the middle of December when many regular users rely on this tool to research MR opportunities is like the DOT deciding to do road construction in front of Disneyworld in June.
Maybe it could have been done in our "off season", like January?
Hope its up soon!
