Description
Hi,
Thanks for sharing the dataset and code. I have a quick question about "city A and city B" direct flights in the Travel Planning dataset. If I understand correct. Both "city A and city B" as well as "from city A to city B", means a **single directional connection** right?
According to issue #1 I understand from "city A to city B" means single directional connection, I just want to confirm "A and B" also means single directional connection.
If not, it seems there are some examples having multiple solutions like (the 459-th example)
```
You plan to visit 5 European cities for 19 days in total. You only take direct flights to commute between cities. You would like to visit Zurich for 6 days. During day 7 and day 12, you have to attend a conference in Zurich. You want to spend 4 days in Athens. You want to spend 7 days in Dubrovnik. You plan to stay in Stuttgart for 4 days. You plan to stay in Manchester for 2 days. You would like to meet your friends at Manchester between day 18 and day 19 to tour together.
Here are the cities that have direct flights:
Athens and Manchester, Stuttgart and Athens, Athens and Zurich, Zurich and Dubrovnik, Stuttgart and Manchester, Dubrovnik and Manchester, Athens and Dubrovnik, Zurich and Manchester.

Research direction
Review the Travel Planning dataset wording and the interpretation referenced in issue #1. Determine whether “city A and city B” denotes a directional connection, then check example 459 for whether that interpretation removes the alternative solution; document the confirmed semantics if needed.
