Hi guys,

Was looking at an xxx FCO ZRH itineray and usally this is not a problem at all when booking via the ITA website.
However, now it's forcing me to go direct or via FRA/MUC/VIE.
Would much rather go via FCO as it's quite a bit cheaper + got time on this itinerary anyway.

I do get that route via OTAs, also for a very reasonable price.
Is there a way to force this routing aside from calling in?

In general I always book direct, but in this case it would be via Trip.com.
Do have status with Trip and with my limited experience CS seems good. No status with LHG.
