No matter what combination I do I cannot get this linking of routes to show up. It will only return via ATL to DAB. I want to see CTL & ATL --> DAB for price comparison in the results.
If I exclude ATL (-CITIES ATL), it returns no results.
I know this route is possible because I can do two separate searches on Google flights, but I would prefer ITA so it returns in one search.
departure routing codes: UA+ F?
return routing codes: F? UA+
What am I doing wrong?
ITA isn't a route search; it's a fare search. The answer is the reason you can't see the whole journey as one fare on Google Flights (which does the same thing) - no airline sells a ticket that includes these flights together. AA and UA have no interline agreement that I'm aware of, and even if they did, they would have to have filed a fare that was valid on this route, which they haven't done, so neither of them will sell you this ticket, so ITA can not give you what you're asking it for.
