Here's an example:

AA NR3CFN fare BDL-SFO Routing from Expedia:

Code:

ROUTING    2    FROM  BDL-AA-CHI-AA-STL-AA-DFW-
             OR FROM  BDL-AA-NYC-AA-BNA-AA-DFW-
             OR FROM  BDL-AA-NYC-AA-CHI-AA-SEA-
             OR FROM  BDL-AA-NYC-AA-STL-
                  TO  AA-SNA/SEA/LAX-AA-SFO*

AA NR3CFN Routing from ExpertFlyer:

Code:

 2 BNA CHI DFW LAX NYC SEA SNA STL

Both routings list the same cities. Looking at the Expedia routing, it is not possible to route through both DFW and SEA. How can one tell this from the ExpertFlyer routing?

Nevertheless, that's what exactly shown on CRS/GDS for domestic fares.

Agents don't see what we see on expedia.com on their CRS/GDS.

Thus, they have to make routings logically.

The worst thing is the city lists often come with "Single Connection Allowed" even though multiple connections are allowed.

Because of that ******* ****, I completely ******* my thanksgiving.
