Thank you all for chiming in. Been very helpful. ^
I have tried another web site, cheapoair dot com. Has a very flexible search engine. Got all the flights/airline/dates/time as I specified. Same price as ITA. ^

I hope you don't have to change or cancel anything. Cheapoair.com is not known for great customer service and gets lots of complaints, which is one reason I don't recommend them and would only use them for low-risk domestic US tickets. Good luck.

Proper closure of thread
jiejie,
Thanks for the heads-up re cheapOair. Turns out my itinerary could not be booked by them either. For whatever reason, a local TA couldn't do it even though they thought they could. Long story short. I broke up my original itin into 3 tickets and finally booked them all on expedia. Airlines used are MU & CZ. Slightly higher total fares than what was first shown on ita. To my surprise, I found that YQ and taxes on MU & CZ are almost 50% of total fares!
