I've seen different routing in other posts, like this: YYZ-AUH-MLE, then MLE-BAH-ATH-YYZ, but checking the cowtool says it'll take 3 days to get to AUH. What am I doing wrong? How to I book individual direct flights?
How far out/dates are you trying to book? It's very likely you're just not seeing the "best" routings available because they've already been booked if you're not booking them 11 months or so from now.
