I am trying to make a dream honeymoon happen. I would like to be able to view all my options. My home is idealy located to run to Chicago or to Detroit hop a flight to possibly New York then on to London or straight to Italy. I would love to hop on a direct flight non stop but really need to be frugal. Can I set my options for this many choices?

If by annoying taxes and fees you mean we don't have to pay them, then by all means do not include them in the fare. But since we do have to pay them and since they do add a considerable amount to the ticket price I think they should be mentioned if not in the fare itself then in parenthesis next to it!

I'm a disabled (wheelchair) person who flew on May 10 from San Diego NONSTOP on American Airlines to JFK, having checked my one piece ofluggage curbside (and paying the mandatory curbside fee). Upon arrival I waited over an hour to find out that my bag didn't arrive nor did they know where it was. I filed a baggage claim and tried to get help I was in excruciating pain (AA disabled Filipina wheelechair pusher forced me out of the chair after waiting an hour at the baggage area).

I had to walk between the various floors and was made to wait in a huge line to see if I could be rerouted to come home on the next flight. I was told that I would have to leave on the 06:25 flight from La Guardia (I was at JFK) and that if I "hurried" I could catch the shuttle before they closed at 11pm (it was after 10pm). The Port Authority rep said that their last shuttle was at 8pm that evening. The only way to get there was by taxi, which was about $35. I asked an AA supervisor to provide a shuttle voucher, which she refused because she said they already changed the return ticket. I called their 800 number in attempt to get "customer support" since there was none at JFK. The AA rep there was nice and told me that there was a return flight right there from JFK at 6am so there was no need for an airport change. She also told me that my luggage had been found and that if I hurried I had five minutes before the baggage dep't closed at midnight to retrieve my lost luggage. Even though they had no idea where it was at the time, since nothing had been tracked in their system, they later told me it had been sent to Boston.

I wasn't able to see anything other than the inside of JFK and I went there because it was my dream to see Manhattan!

After returning home I called AA Disabled Dep't. They have an automated machine l left a message for a call back, which was never returned.

I bought the "insurance" that was offered at the time I booked my ticket online and was told that since I didn't have to pay for the return flight that I wasn't entitled to anything as far as "trip interruption." The fact that I was in NY without my luggage or a place to stay at the time I wasn't able to go anywhere else. By the time I had my luggage my health had deteriorated with the lack of help. My physical pain and mental strain left me no other choice but to return. I am very dissatisfied with American Airlines and also by the horrible treatment I received as a disabled person.

I have titanium rods in my back, being on my feet causes nerve pain as the rods crush
the nerves below. I had to fend for myself, American Airlines wouldn't even provide a meal voucher while I sat with my luggage waiting to be able to check in my bag.

I would like the opportunity from AA to return to see NY and would appreciate any help or information you might be able to provide me. Thank you.

With the insane TSA requirements, I have to fly non-stop flights only to ensure all of my clothes, cosmetics & toiletries arrive with me instead of becoming lost luggage statistic. PLEASE list the non-stop flights that are deals! I ususally fly to go on cruises so very important my clothes arrive with me from West Coast to East Coast. Thanks!

Thanks for all the comments so far. Two things we are working on right now are the ability to request only nonstop flights and the ability to decide whether or not you want linked (alternate nearby) airports. Soon you'll be able to opt out of linked airports and only get the specific airports you want.

Many of the other requests you've mentioned above are also in the works.

Instead of sending out eMails loaded to the gills with (often) irrelevant information, why not just offer each subscriber a "dashboard" style web page that updates itself based on the user's input. When you send an update, all you need to do is send a hotlink to the user's dashboard, which shows the updated flight information, in neat little boxes or sections. Each section could list the previous week's news (for that flight or topic) and each user could have immedate access to edit preferences on the fly. (pardon the pun.)

I am watching a particular fare and the dates cannot be changed because I am attending a conference with specific dates. I am receiving information for every date except what I want.

by Linda on Tuesday, April 01, 2008

I would like to be able to sort by price. The price may determine the destination!! I would like to see the price history or perhaps the high and low price for the previous year.

by darlene on Monday, March 31, 2008

Please add another International destination in options so more choices are being email back to the customer, people are looking into more than one destination deal outside the country.

I would be interested in lowest air fares by carrier - for example, I have air fare credit on NW I would like to use wisely and would appreciate airfarewatchdog's help in finding a great value for this credit.

Please permit users to choose which airports in their vicinity (or elsewhere) for which they wish to receive airport for anyone who selects Birmingham.

I'd like to look at a deal without having to put travel dates in. If the flight/price looks good, I'll make some plans. I don't always have to be going to somewhere in particular. If the fare is great, I may then plan to go there!

by carol kaufman on Monday, March 31, 2008

Building on what Ben said, it would be handy to have instant email alerts anytime a fare leaving from any of our chosen airports falls below X dollars. For instance, if I configure it as $100, I have SFO, LAX, and MSP configured as airports I am interested in, and a flight from LAX to PHL gets posted for $98, I should get an email right away.

That would be VERY handy and help us to snap up great deals that much faster!

First of all, I want to thank you for providing such a great site and your daily options that you are working to incorporate. However, I hope they will only be options as people like me who want to know the cheapest fare regardless of the number of stops and live in a metroplex area with two or more equidistant airports such as Dallas-Ft.Worth, Washington DC, Miami-Ft.Lauderdale, Los Angeles, Chicago, and San Francisco-Oakland, to name a few, would find it a great loss to have to name a single airport.

I would love an option of a destination city instead of just departure city. I'm trying to travel to St. Thomas (STT) or other places, and often it is worth it to drive a few hours before flying to save some serious cash, but checking each departure airport takes some time.

by David on Monday, March 31, 2008

Could we have an expiration for the city-city searches? For instance, I plan to go ot Pittsburgh in June. After mid-June... I won't need that particular notification any more and it would be nice if it just stopped without me having to go back and change my preferences. Thanks.

by Adam on Monday, March 31, 2008

I would love to have my fare list sorted by fare since I am a lot more flexible on location than on price.

I'm a college student who loves traveling to new places. I'm also a huge fan of Airfarewatchdog.com, which I use to search for inexpensive flights. However, I am only able to take flights that fall under a certain dollar amount; in essence, I am happy to go absolutely anywhere, but I'm not going to spend more than $120 (before taxes) for the round trip. I have four relevant proposals for the Fare t so low that I would never be able to snatch them up. You could entice people to join the service by keeping an updating log on the signup page, showing the most recent expired alerts. College students looking at the list of $60-$100 roundtrip adventures would sign up en masse, especially if you set up alerts to be optionally texted to cell phones as well as emailed. It is such an unusual service that it would get a lot of press and make Airfarewatchdog very well known. Please consider it!

I concur with all the requests for selective use of nearby airports - there are 2 that are useful to me out of the 6 that come with my primary airport.

I don't seem to get any fares for my city pairs, even if that pair shows up in my primary airport's list on that day.

And the airfarewatchdog emails appear to take 1.5 to 2.5 hours to arrive at my inbox every single day. Today, for example, the email has a timestamp of 1:21 but arrived around 3:00. I'm sure there isn't a timezone that's 1.5 hours behind PDT, so is it something in your mail system that delays the emails? Your is the only one that arrive in my inbox with this issue.

In general I like the airfarewatchdog service. You do what you're supposed to do quite well. I guess if I had to come up with another feature request, I would like to specify a time period for deals I'm interested in: last-minute, or only in a certain month, etc.

Could it be possible to have last minutes deals (3 days) for Asia like Hong Kong , Manila , Singapore & Bangkok ??? And can you publish them on your Web Site ??? As I frequently fly to Asia and surely other business people would appreciate it alot .
