i dont see anything about maximum permitted mileage.
I dont want to route through YVR. I want to route through JFK. YVR prices correctly, JFK does not. Or am I missing what you're saying? Sorry I have been doing a lot of homework the last week on ITA, and I want to qualify for Ex. Plat based on Points now (since I just took what I thought was a good deal to Tokyo but didnt realize that Q fares earn 30% (...?!) EQMs on JAL so that means that routing as I did SFO-MIA-DFW-NRT-JFK-PHX-SFO was all really just a useless exercise. what a pain in the arse. just try to max the new EQP promotion and be done with it and be more comfortable)
Sorry, I misread.

You want to use a TYOLAX fare via JFK? You cannot be surprised that this isn't allowed.

The fare permits a maximum mileage (in each direction) of 6549 miles.

TYO-JFK-LAX is approximately 9240 miles. (http://www.gcmap.com/mapui?P=TYO-JFK-LAX)
