Is there a way to exclude a specific airline or airport from search results, for any leg (i.e. not to show up in any part of the itinerary)?

Wouldn’t that make it show nonstop only on others?

I think it does, as it just caused my search to error out (there are no no-stops on that route). But excluding the airport took care of my issue properly.

Figured it would do that. I always used to do ~NK on NYC-FLL. By doing that it would only show nonstop.

I got error message "Journeys with origins in multiple countries are not supported". Is this a new thing? Is there any workaround?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.
