ITA Matrix is my favorite powerful flight search engine. It lets you filter by aircraft, among many other things. You have to learn what essentially amounts to a really obscure query language to use it effectively.
- stefco_ 7y agoGoogle Flights uses ITA Matrix tech (bought by Google a few years ago) and it even gives you a link to buy tickets straight from the airline. Has pretty much the same usability features of ITA Matrix and none of the cruft of Orbitz et. al.; highly recommend it.
- nhf 7y agoSome power user features of ITA aren't available on Google Flights still - for example, it lets you construct specific weird routings or layovers that Google will often optimize away. For instance, if you want a 24 hour layover in a city, or if you want to fly a less efficient direction to your destination to build mileage, or whatever. You can use bookwithmatrix.com, though, which parses the output and will generate a ticket for booking on an online travel agency like Expedia.
- stefco_ 7y agoThanks for the recommendation! I hadn't heard of it bookwithmatrix.com.
