I make heavy use of sites such as Skyscanner, Matrix ITA and momondo when searching for a flight. Love their sort by price and duration options, but what I’d really love is a sort by $/SC which would obviously be reward program specific (QFF in my case)

How do you quickly find the best $/SC option today?

Might be a good opportunity to integrate the Skyscanner API with the QF status calculator.
 
It would be cool, as those sort of calculations are normally done in expert members' heads when various MH and DSC promotions are on.
 
I can't see this working with Skyscanner as it doesn't return exact booking class which QFF uses to determine SC eligibility/earn rates. I've checked their API docs and the only class distinctions they make are Y, PE, J and F.

It might be possible to do an overlay on Matrix ITA similar to PowerTools, but again this might only be possible after selecting all legs and getting to the final summary screen where booking classes are shown.
 
The Frequent Flyer Concierge team takes the hard work out of finding reward seat availability. Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, they'll help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.
