Does anyone know if they are shutting down their legacy consumer web portal? By which I mean this: https://matrix.itasoftware.com Please, dear lord I hope not since it's by far my favorite tool to write complex queries to figure out itineraries and pricing for trips.
From [1]: "On April 8, 2011, the US Department of Justice approved the buyout (of ITA by Google). As part of the agreement, Google must license ITA software to other websites for five years." Now that five years are up, Google would want to deny competitors access to that data. Seems like a good startup opportunity. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITA_Software
Reminds me a few google employers posts on HN responding to the usual 'google closes products often': we dont, and we never closed a business products, only unimportant consumer ones. Yeah, sure. Google is heading Microsoft 199x way - fastly becoming public enemy no 1.

Cute language. So just to be clear, you're putting Google ahead of North Korea, ISIS, et al on the list of threats to humanity?

How is ISIS top 2 on your list of threats to humanity? They are at best a regional threat. Google can do considerably more damage on a global scale.
Also, I can't take you seriously when you're saying that Google can do considerably more global damage than IS. Think a little bit more before speaking. IS has directly been responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths and many more injuries, and has severely curtailed the rights of millions of people in the afflicted regions that it took over. Those are all people like you and I, and what happened to them matters. There's just no comparison between that and you losing access to some API. Boo hoo.

They literally just killed eight people on a path that I bike down all the time. Your comment is poorly timed.

For anybody looking for an alternative, there is Fareportal, which has a full featured API for flights with both search and booking ability. https://www.fareportallabs.com/Home/DownloadDocs#0 I'm happy to answer questions as I'm helping several companies switch over to Fareportal at the moment.
