For example, if LAX-ORD has R1. And ORD-LHR has R9. If you search LAX-LHR (connecting in ORD), you'll see R1 displayed for both legs.
Yes you would, just search the ORD-LHR flight separately to see how many R spaces are available if it's more than you
Interesting! Thank you for the info! I even tried the GPU search option and it listed the second group of flights as waitlist only.
