how does this routing work
my question is how does this routing work when it isnt valid at least according to the possible routes in the routing rules and there is no K fare for the city pair?
on jun12 TPA-YYC both united.com and itasoftware show routing TPA-PNS-ORD-YYC
Jun 12 UA 3981 TPA 11:55AM PNS 12:39PM 1h 44m Beech 1900 Economy (K)
Layover in PNS 1h 1m
UA 5820 PNS 1:40PM ORD 4:13PM 2h 33m Embraer ERJ-135/145 Economy (K)
Layover in ORD 4h 2m
UA 6490 ORD 8:15PM YYC 11:00PM 3h 45m Canadair RJ 700 Economy (K)
$257.00
but expertflyer shows no K for that day for the city pair TPA-YYC
united.com shows
City Pairs Fare Class Fare Basis Code
TPA - CHI K KA10KS
CHI - YYC K KA21JS
as the fare basis to get the tpa-pns-ord-yyc
i guess the short form question i have, is how can i be routed to a city that isnt in the routing rules? is this some kind of discrectionary option that the airline has to sell me a seat?
if i use multi city and try to choose those specific 3 flights i get 2 u's and a k on the last leg with a different fare

what is the cause of this? i guess the question is when i just choose the origin and destination and let united.com put out fares, it give a K and adds in PNS, if i go multi city and choose the same route myself i cant get it, that is what i would like to sort out. if this is married segment logic interference it seems to be married sometimes, and sometimes not?
