A flight search engine that combines flights from different airlines? (2014)


Is there a search engine that considers "mix&match" flight combinations? My current problem: I need to go from FRA to YLW (Frankfurt/Germany to Kelowna/Canada) on July 29th, and arrive no late...

Some are more focused on naked flights, other push hotels, car hires, or packages but nearly all can find multiple airlines combinations and many can beat your EUR 3000 price on FRA-YLW. Given that your unspecified connection over LHR was apparently significantly more expensive and cumbersome than the ones found by most websites (including the Condor/Westjet solution mentioned by jpatokal or djhurio), there is no reason why it should figure prominently in anyone's results. As for "bulk-download the flight schedules ... and I'll program it myself" - this is an incredibly hard problem, especially once you add fare calculation (thousands of pages of tariff rules) and availability data.
