2 2-stop Itineries
I was looking for a flight on 4/19 on IAD-MCO. I saw there is a nonstop but there is a second interesting option that is also sold from it's site:
12:40PM - 2:30PM IAD-ATL Flight 223
3:10PM - 4:40PM ATL-AUS Flight 223
5:25 PM - 6:36PM AUS-DEN Flight 223
11:59PM - 5:26AM DEN-MCO Flight 682
It's sold for $237 Economy. I think one can drive to Orlando from DC faster.
Any other bizarre tickets being sold like that? I know in the past, the Early Returns department could see flight options that the public couldn't see, and could book pax on these flights, but possibly everything is now open.

Some connections it might not be selling, maybe because of the layover though.
For example, on Sat 5/16, there are
SFO-IAH (8:55am-2:50pm), Flight 1106
IAH-PHL (6:50pm-11:10pm) Flight 242
But Frontier's site isn't selling SFO-IAH-PHL.
However, the layover is 4 hours so separate tickets have to be purchased. If the layover < 3hrs, it probably would be sold.
In comparison, JetBlue does sell PHL-BOS-DTW, two flight itineries with an over 4 hour layover in BOS, and one itinery with a layover of 51 minutes. JetBlue isn't selling PHL-BOS-RDU/PIT even though I recall PHL-BOS-RDU even having flight times that could be sold as a connection.
