On the Matrix ITA site, why doesn't Virgin Australia show up in the search results?

score:6

Accepted answer

On the two routes that you detailed Virgin Australia does not have any of its own flights.

However it has a codeshare agreement with Singapore Airlines on those two routes, which means you could purchase a VA flight and not travel on a Va plane.

I did a quick check on the VA website and the codeshare flights are shown.

Kayak uses matrix ita, but also pulls fare data from over 400 sites, so it is likely that VA have not offered that fare grouping to ita, but is offering it on its own system, or through another partner.
