COMPONENT.

Matrix prices it correctly if it stops in YVR, but I actually want to extend the mileage and stop in NYC rather than YVR (so NRT-JFK-LAX, not NRT-YVR-JFK). however pricing this the price jumps 700 dollars not 100.
What am i doing wrong?
Is there a HIP check? Check the Higher Intermediate Point rule.

Are you exceeding the maximum permitted mileage? (The MPM?) Does it price the same if you take the route but without the stopover?
