I will be using Expedia.ca as the default way to find a routing, as it is free, and available to everyone. ExpertFlyer.com offers it paid subscribers easier access to routing rules. Routing rules are also viewable the same way as through Expedia.ca when booking (not bidding for) flights on Priceline.com, among other places. They are omitted from the fare rules on Travelocity, Orbitz, or most major airfare websites....

ROUTING 3 FROM STL-AA-DFW-AA-
OR FROM STL-AA-CHI-AA-
OR FROM STL-AA-DFW-AA-RDU-AA-
TO MIA/RDU-AA-FLL*
...

etc.....
Is it still possible to get such detailed routing rules as you show, and where? I recently signed up for Expertflyer and cano nly find routing rules like the following:

For SFO-LHR

MPM FARE - ROUTE NOT APPLICABLE
MAXIMUM PERMITTED MILEAGE IS 6429

and SFO-MIA

Y 1560.00 3120.00 R AA ROUTE:0002
VALID SINGLE CONNECT CITIES FROM: SFO TO MIA
AUS BNA CHI DFW FYV LAX SEA SNA STL

ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON ROUTING:
NONE


none of these have the detailed allowable connecting airports you show in the examples.

Are such rules still available somewhere. Or is it just that I picked city pairs and fares which don't have that kind of rule. I recall much more detailed routing rules SFO-LHR two years ago

Thanks
