I want to go GSO-SLC (stop) SLC-LAS(destination) LAS-GSO. Would seem obvious to me that SLC is a valid stopover on a flight to LAS.

I went through every segment one at a time and found them all at the medium level 40k (there was low availability, but the flight times didn't work for me), so it was my understanding that it should price out at 40 for the whole trip. Instead it came out at 80k.

Is this a valid itinerary? Any suggestions on how to get it to price correctly?

if GSO-SLC-LAS a published route, i would think it should be allowed.

if you can price out gso-slc-las-gso without the stop ok then the stop should be allowed.
