LX E class is shown using the Galileo and Apollo Methods. However, neither of them pick-up the LX connection on the return, most likely because of the very long layover time in ZRH (11+ hours).
Part 1:
You are therefore saying that a connection (involving international travel) which is less than 23h59min (which is legal) will not necessarily show up in your access methods? What is the cut-off time for the access methods to show a connection?
Why did Apollo (as well as WSpan) show routings using all other airlines, when LX was specified (see my example with apollo). This did not happen with sabre (see your example)?
Sabre does not show E class fares? Is it true that sabre may not show certain fares for given routes (any airlines), but which may be seen using the galileo and apollo methods? To ask the question in a another way, for any given airline, which access method can display the widest range of booking code availability?
