ITA Matrix Search - at least one connection point in MUC? "No flights found"

score:11

Accepted answer

This is happening because there are no non-stops from Hanoi to Munich (as Hilmar notes in comments). A search using F? means "zero or one flights," so a search for F? MUC F? literally means "zero or one flights, a stop in Munich, zero or one flights." That doesn't exist; you need at least two flights to reach Munich from Hanoi.

Instead, use the routing code F* MUC F*. The asterisk means "zero or more flights," so it will find itineraries where multiple flights are required to reach Munich (you could use the + operator, meaning "one or more flights" instead, the results appear to be the same).

Note that you'd have all the usual downsides with hidden city ticketing, including the fact that you would not be able to check bags to Munich. Whether this itinerary makes financial or logical sense is something you'd have to determine for yourself. In a quick search I just did for a random day, the hidden city itineraries were all more expensive than just pricing to Munich, but results may vary.
