Not sure what you're getting at. All the examples I cited were 1-stops (CLE-XXX-AMS). Nothing to do with avoiding stops.
What I'm questioning is, Why does FI think NEO'ers will pay a premium to connect at KEF on their way to AMS, rather than saving $267 by connecting at PHL on AA? And, piggybacking on that quandary, How long will FI be around charging so much more for nothing extra?
