I don't mind it!

(Just as an aside I plugged in a sample trip to Europe to see how the site works... ANA SYD-FRA popped up for AUD5521 in June... and that's in ANA's 'The Room'. That's a pretty good price!)
 
I’ve been using ITA Matrix on and off over the last couple of weeks looking for deals and then suddenly got the new site last night. I was trying to do the nearby city search and gave up (didn’t try to hard) but just clicked on the link to the old version.

I need to go back and see if they’ve just dumbed it down to another Google Flights or actually made it better?
 
I used to use it a lot. It's certainly got a new look. Do the old codes (not that I remember them well) still work?

Only issue is the powertools (although a version to suit is in development).

Here's a couple of screen shots of my view of the old Matrix. (Just for fun, check the $ per SC on this route).

Ah, that’s where the “migration alert” is. I meant to mention above there was some message warning of enhancements coming. I’m hoping it doesn’t go the way of the old
”CheckMyFlight”….
 
Personally I prefer the simplicity of the old version, but this seems like it still does all the same things and might be a bit easier for some people to use.

The old version is also more legible, to my eyes at least.
 
I hadn't checked ITA Matrix for three or four weeks, but looking at it today, one's ability to access the much loved 'old site' seems to have disappeared.

Yes! But fortunately I found this link on FT and bookmarked it!


I was literally just searching for stuff just now….
 
I have some good fare on ITA Matrix that I can't find on other website or carrier website. Is that common? Do I need a travel agent to help me? Any recommendations?

This has worked for me before. I found some good fares for Vietnam Airlines on ITA Matrix. However, I encountered issues when attempting to book through the Vietnam Airlines website and OTAs, as they booking into a higher priced fare bucket.

When I contacted the Vietnam Airlines call center, they were able to price the itinerary using the cheaper fare bucket, but they were unable to process credit card payments over the phone to complete the ticketing process. Instead, they had a requirement that you needed to visit a Vietnam Airlines office (i.e. Sydney CBD) to make the payment and have the tickets issued, which incurs an additional ticketing charge that was pretty hefty from memory.

I was able to use a travel agent in Vietnam to book the fare and ticket it for me.
