ITA very unreliable. If you want you can PM me the flight details and I can see if I can put it together for you.

Im sure it was asked already, just not able to find it.

I did a basic search nyc-tlv via Turkish airlines and showing up as $600. How in the world do I purchase that ticket??? I tried it thru kayak or Travelocity multi search or thru Turkish Directly and that price is approx $1000. How can I get that ticket for the price it sais in the ITA??

ThankYou

When ITA shows you different airlines, for instance KLM there and United back. If I book it as 2 one ways thru orbitz it charges me a much higher one way fare?

Sounds weird. Can you post a screen shot? Please post it with the whole fare breakdown

There are different booking systems, some allow diff. Combinations etc. so some websites might be able to book certain trips while others not.
However in your case it just seems weird as they are in no way an alliance.

I've seen plenty of times booking engines giving different alliances, its just very expensive at they price them as two one ways.

I'm not a frequent flyer, but I've used ITA a few times with no trouble at all. Got the prices that I saw there on the airline's website.

I was looking for a flight one way flight NYC - TLV as per a DDF members's request. He/she wanted to leave on August 26. If you put those search parameters into ITA Matrix, you got a really nice price on Turkish Airlines. In reality nothing close to those prices exist. Only seats in Business Class are available. I am posting screen shots of ITA Matrix results and actual availability on Amadeus. ITA has to somehow fix this.

I found a great fare on Ita matrix over thanksgiving weekend one way on United. the fare does not show up on United ( nothing near). How do I get that fare?

hocker · « **Reply #53 on:** November 02, 2013, 02:15:14 PM »

Call a TA.

Matrix does at times show phantom availability.

does it make sense that ita doesnt show a flight that shows up on kayak?

Low cost carrier
Ryanair, easy jet and similar.
Transearo should show up

Looks like ITA is not perfect. I randomly checked Kayak from my phone and that's when I saw that ITA didn't list all options.
