flights found on ITA matrix
« on: November 28, 2010, 05:36:18 PM »
question:

If i find a flight on matrix.itasoftware.com, how do i go about purchasing the ticket since I can't buy it on the website? Another note, is that i can't find it on continental's website.

can i call up continental and ask to buy seats on those particular flights? it's dtw-iah-lga (u think they will let me do that on one ticket?)

thanks.

Orbitz has it for $245 as well.
Be sure to click "Show all flights" after searching.

ITAMATRIX sometimes gives "phantom" prices or fares that do not exist anymore. That sometimes happens with Kayak and Orbitz as well. Once the fare is re-validated the correct price shows up. On Orbitz I have seen the price go up and go down once the fare is selected. The most accurate way of getting the most up to date fare pricing is at the airlines website or a travel agent.

Maybe I am doing something wrong?   I just checked again and I still see 196.  What is the cheapest you see?

The rates I am seeing are without taxes. Once I click on a specific flight, it shows me the total cost. is there a way to get it to show me total cost from the start?
