The new offering from Google, a flight checker matrix. They bought ITA a while ago and this is what they did with it for now.
Not very good for EU though as it excludes Ryanair/Lufty but very swish. Here it is

The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

I prefer the original ITA Software Matrix layout. Has more options than the new Google version. Although I'm sure Google's will evolve given time....

Thanks fixed now. True the ITA has more options but the average user would be hard pressed as to how to use them. The trouble with ITA is that it shows availability of seating but some of that is not purchasable.I prefer the original ITA Software Matrix layout. Has more options than the new Google version.

Great. As said by bagand96 this matrix will evolve over time. I also managed to find premium cabin prices when I first used it but can't remember how I did it because I can't find them now.
Someone said to me that it also doesn't include charter flights but I haven't checkedThe common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot.

It's strange as the text says Lufthansa is excluded, but when you search it goes to "other sites" for Lufthansa.0 -
I think at the moment it is also excluding Easyjet flights. Whilst it gives you their schedule it doesn't return price and availability.
I believe they are is discussions with Ryanair and Easyjet to include within Google Flights but until such point they can include them I can't see the value of this site for European travel.0
