Thanks for the assist,

Spac3d, FYI, the FLL-STL leg stops at MCO.

It is another example of "
Mid-week flights allegedly operating once/twice per week", as it does show up in the Friday column of the
schedule for the first week of April, and in the Thursday column of the
schedule for the second week of April.
Those flights
can be booked online as an A-B-C merged WGA fare that comes to $83.80 on, for example, April 8. The $83.80 seems to be correct for a $59 fare for that itinerary. Six seats can be booked online at that price. Shortcut, however, shows $95 as the lowest fare available that day, so in this case it is
not picking up that the $59 fare is possible.
Trying to book the same flights as an A-B-C on April 10, however, the merged fare is $60 higher, ($119), because no "T" class fares are available on either leg. Perhaps availability has changed since Victor's fare search, but Shortcut still shows a $59 fare for that date. Can there be a "T" class fare on a FLL-MDW flight that consists of two flights that each have no "T" class fare?
