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!!
You should call the 1K desk and tell them what you want to do. They should be able to find the best booking. The other poster is right that the fare rules vary by city pair and booking code. You're a 1K so I think they waive the phone fee. I wouldn't rely on the website to determine the best fare. Alternatively you could contact a travel agent, they have the same access as a UA agent to the fare information.
