or
AUS-ATL-BSB-GIG (stopover)
GIG-REC-FEN (destination)
FEN-REC-BSB-ATL-AUS
There unfortunately isn't low award availability ATL-GIG the days I want.
I could do a stopover in BSB and just buy a r/t to GIG... but the flight going back would be through GIG anyway... would save me GIG-BSB-GIG r/t.
Stopovers are permitted anywhere along a valid routing. Doesn't have to be your gateway or even a hub. If you wanted to book LAX-SLC-FAR(stop)-MSP-LHR, that would be fine.
What you're calling an "en route open jaw" is technically an embedded surface sector, which is generally permitted on a DL award. However, it does count as a segment, and DL's international award ticket fare rules expressly allow only four segments each direction. I've seen online award pricing break fares when you try using more than four segments in a direction. Both of your examples exceed the segment limit, so they won't price like you want. I'm also not confident that you can get an embedded surface sector and an open jaw like you have in your first example.
