So, I have been wondering about this - Yesterday I found and booked two flights from PHL --> xxx --> HND for the spouse and myself for February in F. But weirdly when i searched from PHL directly it did not show up, however when searching from EWR with the button clicked for include nearby they both appeared. One from PHL --> ORD --> HND, and one from PHL --> LAX --> HND. Both arriving within 3 hours of each other.
I had assumed this was phantom space, but it was bookable, so I snagged it. Is this a different phenomenon altogether?
