Funny that, as the fare rules state:
Stopover restrictions
2 FREE STOPOVERS PERMITTED ON THE PRICING UNIT - 1 IN EACH
DIRECTION IN SEA/PDX/SJC/OAK/SMF/SAN.

Aero is correct about the fare rules, but I can't find a stopover at a low price on ITA.
Yes. Note, however, that the flight times don't allow for a same-day turn. Overnight In-N-Out run?

Normal fare rules probably include other connection points. However, the specific fare that gives this price has " TRAVEL MUST BE NONSTOP" for routing rules, so connections cannot use this lowest fare.

If you have access to ExpertFlyer, don't look at the fare rules. Look at the routing rules instead. Some fares are governed by the fare rules, where the routing rules have all sorts of wild options, but the fare rules limit to one or two transfers. Others are like this one, where a "normal" set of fare rules are listed, but the fare is restricted in the routing rules. It all depends on how the airline wants to do it. For AS, it seems they created this low fare, copied and pasted the fare rules, but then changed the routing rules to be nonstop only. The routing rules won't show up on ITA.

Are you referring to something going over my head? Or was I too complex in my post? I have the latter problem from time to time so I'm just curious. I can try to come up with examples but it would take some time (I have to stay up until 2AM to give a friend a ride tonight so I do have plenty of time to explain 
).
).

).Thats how I found Sea-iah-ord-bos-sfo-sea.. but I wanted to see if I could find something else with the most segments and it be idiot proof.
ITA is by no means idiot proof. LOL.
