Lol, very true.
  Then how come not one member decided to spare 1 minute of his time to save many minutes of his own and others by doing a simple link to copy format?

I am wondering how to post a list of ITA codes for easy copying. I posted the list of delta airports above to benefit others, and it seems it was unappreciated the way it was posted.  I have been a member since 2010, but i dont spend that much time here, so I dont know the ins and outs of posting tricks.

It’s not only about how you post, it’s also what you post. A list of Delta airports isn’t neccisary, since you can just paste the list of all the airports and put only show Delta flights in the advanced routing codes.

Any such program which can search in miles vs cash?
That would be truly amazing!
 Without the need to check each route individually, specifically in regards to the YQ which is the blockbuster on most flights.

Was looking for RJ 170/175 flights, figured I'd leave the code here after I spent several minutes digging for it:

Code: [Select]
UA / aircraft t:emj
And more aircraft codes:

I think you just have to put them all in except for the two you want to exclude.

If its pricing as a OW, you'll be paying the J fare regardless
