Expert flyer and differing availability for two combined
I have noticed that then I do a flight availability search I may get different results if I search for a connecting flight than if I search for each leg separately.
For example
If I search msp-dtw with a connection in atl, I may get y=1 on the msp-atl and y=0 on atl-dtw.
Yet if I search just msp-atl I may see y=9 and searching atl-dtw may be y=3
As delta allows sdc for y>0 sometimes I may not see open seats that are there.
What cases this? Any solution other than a two step process?
Thanks

BTW, great product. I use it every week I am traveling mostly to do SDC on Delta.
The fare rules also makes it worth the price.
