They refused to do this because they said it would create an illegal ticket because it would involve too many flight changes. I really do not understand this.
Maybe it would have created an illegal connection, sometimes the way airfares work are pretty weird. Another thought is to book one of the MCO-CVG flts as a separate one-way. Not sure what it would do to the price but that should get you past the illegal connection issue.
