However I have to attend a wedding in Texas so I would like to add a stopover in IAH on the way back to AMS (the actually wedding is in Austin), however the K fare does not allow any stopovers. So which upper fare class would allow stopovers? L? T? S? W?

If I booked a ticket with a stopover in IAH it would cost 881 euro, whole way in K class however the ANC-IAH segments would be in L class
If I booked a ticket with a stopover in AUS it would cost 918euro, allw ay in K class however ANC-AUS is in T class

any of you guys could help me to find the cheapest possible way to fly to ANC and include a stopover in either IAH/AUS, let me know!!

thanks!!

There is no way to know just by the booking code if stopovers are allowed. There are K fares that do allow stopovers (usually for an extra charge) and higher fares that don't. Doing the search the way you've been doing and asking for the lowest fare is the best way to check. It sounds like your date is fixed because of the wedding so what you see is what you get.
